What were the reasons for failure of Prithviraj Chauhan against Muhammad Ghori ? |
|
Answer» 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 help at the time of war against Muhammad Ghori. In 1178 CE, when Muhammad Ghori had invaded upon Gujarat ruler Bhimdev – II, at that time, Prithviraj committed a mistake by not providing help to Gujarat. 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 violently attacked the army of his enemy at that time, then Muhammad Ghori would never have dared attack upon him again. Due to above given reasons, Prithiviraj remained unsuccessful. |
