Explanation

The rise of Persian speaking people to the throne naturally resulted in the spread of the Persian language in India. It was the official language and soon literary works in the language began to appear. Sanskrit continued to remain an important language of the time, and despite the increasingly influence of Persian, it was able to hold its ground. There was also significant amount of work taking place in regional languages.
