What was the reasons for the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan ? |

Answer» Reasons for the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan – Even after being a conqueror, Prithviraj Chauhan lacked foresightedness and diplomacy. He did not establish cordial relations with his neighbouring kingdoms, instead he waged wars with them and made them his enemy. For this reason, he did not receive their assistance at the time of war against Muhammad Ghori. In 1178 CE, when Muhammad Ghori invaded upon Gujarat, Prithviraj committed a mistake by not providing help to Gujarat ruler Bhimdev – II. Another major fault of his was not attacking the Turkish army which was fleeing after being defeated in the first battle of Tarain. If he had have violently attacked the army of his enemy at that time, Muhammad Ghori would never have dared attack upon him again. He started to neglect the administrative obligation after his marriage with Samyogita and had started to live a luxurious life. |
