Answer:
The term medieval has been derived from the
Latin words ‘medius' and ‘ aevum’ which
means middle age. Thus it is that period of
Indian history which falls between the Ancient
period and the Modern Period .
The medieval period is again divided into two
parts:
1 The Early medieval period ( AD 700- AD
1200).
2 The Late medieval period (AD 1200- AD
1700).
The long rule of the Mughals in the late
medieval period stabilized the Indian society
and helped in uniting the people from
different regions of India.
Society
Spread of agriculture led to the clearing of
forests. The forest dwellers migrated to other
areas.This gave rise to many peasant societies.
The society was now divided into sub-castes or
jatis instead of varnas.
Religion
Major changes took place in Hinduism during
this period. Many new temples were
constructed. People began worshipping many
new deities. Islam,a new religion was
introduced in India. Guru Nanak led the
foundation of Sikhism.
Trade
Due to greater interaction of India with other
countries trade flourished. This in turn led to
the rise of new towns and cities.

Himalayas. Southern India is cut off from the
northern India by Satpura and Vindhaya
ranges.The long coast line in south India

trade relations with other countries.
