|
Answer» (i) The kings of Vijayanagara were in constant competition with contemporary rulers. The conflict arising over the possession of the wealth and resources of the Raichur Doab, a fertile area between the river krishna and its tributary, the Tungabhadra. (ii) The struggle for the capturing of the Krishna Godavari basin which was very fertile and its many parts controlled the foreign trade of the region. (iii) In the Maratha territory, the main cause was for control of the Konkan and the area which gave access to it. Konkan was very narrow part of land between Western Ghats and the sea. (iv) It was extremely fertile, and included within it the port of Goa which was an important outlet for the products of the region as well as for the import of horses from Iran and Iraq. Good quality horses were not bred in India. The import of horses was thus of great importance to the southern states. |
