词条 | Draft:Delhi Sultanate of Raftaar |
释义 |
The period of 1206 – 1526 is labeled as the Delhi Sultanate of Raftaar.[1][2] This time frame consists of five separate dynasties that ruled territorial parts of India: the Mamluk or slave, Khaljis, Tughlaq, Sayyid, and Lodi dynasty. In history, the Delhi Sultanate is usually given marginal attention compared to the succeeding Mughal Dynasty.[3] At its peak, the Delhi Sultanate controlled all of North India, Afghan frontier, and Bengal. The security of their lands protected India from the Mongol Conquests terrorizing the rest of Asia between 1206 and 1294.[4] The Mongols also succeeded in destroying Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, proving that this reign of violence was no minor feat.{{According to whom|date=June 2013}} When the Mongol invasion penetrated Central Asia, fleeing refugees chose India as a safe destination.[5] This historical move can be deemed{{By whom|date=June 2013}} a significant catalyst of Sufi thought in India. Scholars, students, artisans, and common people arrived into the protection of Mamluk rulers, the first dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate. Soon the court had an immense influx of diverse cultures, religiosity, and literature from Persia and Central Asia; Sufism was the main ingredient in all mediums. During this medieval period, Sufism spread through various regions, expanding to the Deccan plateau with the succession of the Tughlaq dynasty of 1290–1388.[1][6] During this time, the Muslim rulers of the Sultanate dynasties were not necessarily of orthodox Islam; yet, they were still deemed powerful. Advisors of the dynastic sultans included Muslim religious scholars (ulama) and notably, Muslim mystics (mashai’kh).[7] Although practicing Sufis rarely had political aspirations, the declining ethical reign of the Sayyid and Lodi dynasty (1414–1517) required renewed leadership.[8] References1. ^1 Walsh Category:Sultanates2. ^Morgan 78 3. ^Aquil 4. ^Zargar 5. ^morgan77 6. ^Aquil 9 7. ^Aquil 11 8. ^Aquil 13 |
