Answer 1

Hey there !

Better military leaders- Turks were better leaders compared to native Indians. Indians were of no match for Mahmud of Ghazni or Ghori. Prithviraj Chauhan should have killed Ghori in 1st battle of Tairan but his short slightness opened the was for Turks in India.Better Military tactics & equivalents - Indian cavalry was no match for Turk cavalry. Historically Indian breed horses were not equivalent to Arabian horses and Turk build very strong & mobile cavalry. Indians over relied on elephants and elephants were very dangerous for both armies in case they turn back.Division of India into small kingdoms - There were many small kingdoms in North and Western India (present day Pakistan). And this made Turks work easy. A strong kingdom in north would have deterred Turks.Constant warfare among Indian rulers - Indian rulers were always fighting among themselves. Also, Indian rules didn’t made a joint stand against Turks and Turks finished the easily one by one.
