Medieval and Modern Indian History

Alauddin Khalji was an ambitious ruler. He needed a large army to complete his ambitious conquest. In order to maintain his large army, required money. For that, he fixed the prices of all commodities from the smallest to the biggest things. Besides price control, he kept an eye on prices or weight.

Nalanda and Vikramshila were the two most important centers of learning in India during the Pala Empire. But in 1193  army led by the Turkish leader Bakhtiyar Khilji who was the general of Qutubuddin Aibak destroyed them.

Alauddin's campaigns were driven by wealth, power, and imperialism; religion was not a primary motivation for his southern expansion.

Alauddin's price control regulations were designed to keep the cost of living low for the military and urban population, which primarily impacted the peasants who were forced to sell grain at fixed low prices.

The tripartite struggle for Kannauj involved the Gurjara-Pratiharas, the Palas, and the Rashtrakutas. The Paramaras were not part of this specific conflict.

Harshavardhana's empire did not cover the entire Indian subcontinent; it was primarily centered in northern India, extending over regions like Punjab, Rajasthan, and parts of the Gangetic plain.

Pulakesin II, the Chalukya king, successfully stopped Harshavardhana's southward expansion at the Narmada River, preventing him from entering the Deccan.

The Gupta empire faced internal instability due to the rise of semi-independent feudatories and the loss of central control over provincial governors. While Hun invasions were a major external pressure, the internal fragmentation and revolts by principal chiefs were critical factors in the collapse of central authority.

Cricket has its origins in England which have colonized India for almost 200 years. During these years British influenced Indians in many ways and one of them is cricket. Cricket was brought to India by the British rulers. In the beginning, the game was played amongst the British nationals. Later it struck deep roots in the Indian soil as a result of the patronage extended to it by the ruling class and the princely households. Cricket also gave rise to nationalistic feelings as Indians were not allowed to play autonomously and were a part of the team of the Great Britain.

The origins of Indian cricket, that is, cricket played by Indians are to be found in Bombay and the first Indian community to start playing the game was the small community of Parsis. Brought into close contact with the British because of their interest in trade and the
first Indian community to westernise, the Parsis founded the
first Indian cricket club, the Oriental Cricket Club in Bombay in 1848.
