The first battle at Tarain (1191):

• Prithviraj was the ruler of Delhi and Ajmer when Ghori was marching towards Delhi after conquering several parts of Punjab.
• Prithviraj was able to unite some Rajput states to present a united front against the common enemy.

• However Jai Chand, the ruler of Kanauj did not join the confederation of some Rajput states headed by Prithviraj, on account of his personal animosity.
• A fierce battle between Ghori and Prithviraj took place at Tarain.

• Ghori was wounded and defeated. He was carried away from the battle-field by a Khalji soldier. True to Indian traditions, the Rajputs did not follow the fleeing enemy a blunder which India had to repent for centuries.

The second battle of Tarain (1192):

• Muhammad Ghori was determined to establish his authority over India. He was not disheartened over his defeat. He wanted to avenge his humiliation.
• He reorganised and strengthened his army. With a large cavalry of unrivalled marks-men, he again descended the plains of Tarain in 119.

• The numerical strength of the Rajput forces was far greater than Ghori’s army which, however, was better organised. The fighting quality of the Turkish cavalry decided the issue.

• A large number of Indian soldiers lost their lives. Prithviraj was captured and slain.

Results of the Second Battle of Tarain:

• The victory of Ghori settled the future course of Indian history and as Dr. D.C. Ganguly writes, “The defeat of Prithviraj in the second battle of Tarain not only destroyed the imperial power of the Chauhans, but also brought disaster on the whole of Hindustan.”

• S. Lanepoole has said, “The result of this victory was the annexation of Ajmer, Hansi and Sirsuti, ruthless slaughter and a general destruction of temples and idols and building of mosques.”
