MEDIEVAL SOUTH ASIA: SUFIS, SULTANS,RAJAS / MELTEM TOKSÖZ


GREAT MIGRATIONS

The Aryan Migrations of Indo-Europeans took place between 4000-1000 BC

The Aryans called the indigenous people, DRAVIDIANS

The two groups intermarried, interacted and laid social and cultural foundations that evolved into the complexity of South Asia

Sanskrit into Hindi, Bengali, Urdu and others

HINDUISM

SOUTH ASIAN CLASSICAL ERA : MAURYA and GUPTA

326 BC Alexander the Great with his Macedonian army invades the north

This newcomer force pushes for the first dynastic empire: 800 years, One of the RAJ becoming EMPEROR : The first is Maurya Dynasty, Asoka one that recognizes and spreads Buddhism

GUPTA Dynasty 320-540 after which political parcellization again, rise of rajputs as military aristocracies

Jainism and Buddhism

North Indians, low-caste Hindus and Buddhists converted

THE DELHI SULTANATE

The first Muslim state 1206 in Delhi by Qutb-ud-din Aybak constantly expanding and contracting

Mixing very well with the indidgenous populaces

Divided into 5 dynasties : the Tughluqs were crushed by Timur from Samarkand (1398-99) desolating the entire sultanate but the last dynasty (Lodis) nonetheless survived until 1526

The Delhi Sultanate : saving South Asia from the Empire of Cengiz Khan but establishing a stronger Mongol legacy together with Islam

After the Mongols

The vast Mongol realm dissolved after Cengiz Han : his imperial venture brought the societies of Eurasia into closer contact

Turkic peoples resumed campaigns with Timur (14th and 15th centuries) who built a central asian empire that collapsed after his death but deeply influenced the coming muslim empires (Mughal, Safavid and Ottoman)
