includes the period from the 6th century,[2] the "first half of the 7th century",[3] or the 8th century[4] up to the 16th century, essentially coinciding with the Middle Ages of Europe. It may be divided into two periods: The 'early medieval period' which lasted from the 6th to the 13th century and the 'late medieval period' which lasted from the 13th to the 16th century, ending with the start of the Mughal Empire in 1526. The Mughal era, from the 16th century to the 18th century, is often referred to as the early modern period,[2] but is sometimes also included in the 'late medieval' period.[5]

Early medieval period

Main article: Middle kingdoms of India

The start of the period is typically taken to be the slow collapse of the Gupta Empire from about 480 to 550,[11] ending the "classical" period, as well as "ancient India",[12] although both these terms may be used for periods with widely different dates, especially in specialized fields such as the history of art or religion.[13] Another alternative for the preceding period is "Early Historical" strectching "from the sixth century BC to the sixth century AD", according to Romila Thapar.[14]

At least in northern India, there was no larger state until perhaps the Delhi Sultanate, or certainly the Mughal Empire,[15] but there were several different dynasties ruling large areas for long periods, as well as many other dynasties ruling smaller areas, often paying some form of tribute to larger states. John Keay puts the typical number of dynasties within the subcontinent at any one time at between 20 and 40,[16] not including local rajas.
