WRITE A SHORTNOTE ON:
1.Mahmud Ghazani

2. Characteristics of the Medieval Rajput men and women.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni was a ruler of Afghanistan from 997 to 1030. He was an ambitious king and so made all efforts to extend his control over far-off regions. He extended his control over parts of Central Asia, Iran and the northwestern part of the subcontinent. Almost every year he raided the subcontinent targeting wealthy temples. The temple of Somnath in Gujarat was the worst victim of his raids. Much of the wealth he carried away was used to create a splendid capital city at Ghazni. Ghazni was fond of knowing more about the people he conquered. He entrusted a scholar named Baruni to write an account of the subcontinent. The al- Barni's account, an Arabic work titled Kitab al-Hind, is still an important source for historians.

2)The Rajputs belonged to the medieval period and consisted of large cluster of castes and local groups, sharing a social status and ideology.

The descendants of Lord Rama or Lord Krishna or the Hero who emerged from the sacrificial fire were the Rajputs. India's fate was chiefly in hands of different Rajput dynasties from the death of Harsha to the 12th century.

A Rajput family was patriarchal in nature, with all the other members submissive to it, where the power was concentrated in the hands of the eldest member. It was a tradition, after the death of the head of a family, that his eldest son succeeded him.

A subordinate position was presented to the women in the male dominated Rajput family, where the males exercised power over the women.

The elite Rajput women were following the Purdah tradition. A deep belief in heritage and a mettlesome respect for personal honour was a part of their ethos.  

Although the married women of the Rajput families did not encounter the livelihood issue, due to the polygamy tradition, they were still not able to relish similar rights and rank.
