Medieval India: The period between 8th and 18th century CE in the Indian subcontinent is referred to as the Medieval Period in the Indian History. Many historians divide the period into 'early medieval period' (up to 13th century) and 'late medieval period' (beyond 13th century). This period witnessed many dramatic changes in the Indian subcontinent.

Indian Maps

Over a period of time, the map of an area made by a person differs significantly from that made by another person. This is because of the changes in the information about that region. For example, consider the following maps:

• This was by the Arab geographer Al-Idrisi.

• It was made in 1154 CE (Christian era).

• In this map south India is where we would expect to find north India.

• Sri Lanka is an island at the top of India.

• The names of places are marked in Arabic and there are some popular places of Uttar Pradesh like Kanauj (spelt as Qanauj).
