PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHANWith the death of Harsha , king of Kanauj , in about 647 A.D his great empire in north India Collapsed. It rapidly disintegrated into several Petty kingdoms. This political division weakenedthe unity of the country and led to several violentdisputes between the chieftains of these new kingdoms. The Afghan chief Shaha buddin Ghori captured the empire of Mahmud of Ghazi and became the new ruler of Ghazni. After taking Lahore , he started his incursions into India. He marched to Delhi , which was then ruled by the valiant Rajputs King PrithviRaj Chauhan who defeated him in the battle of Tarain.
The second battle proved to be a turning point in Indian history . PrithviRaj Chauhan was a famous king and warrior. He was noted for his value and chivalry. Despite his defeat and death, his name has been immortalised and he had become the hero of many legends.
