The medieval period of Indian history is difficult to define
clearly. It may be perceived as the long phase of India's
transition from the ancient to the immediately pre-colonial times.
The latter period would naturally be imagined commencing from Vasco
da Gama's voyage round the Cape of Good Hope in 1498, or,
alternatively, the establishment of the Mughal empire (1526). More
definitely though, the renewed Islamic advance into north India,
roughly from 1000 A.D. onwards leading to the rise of the Delhi
Sultanate (1206), can be held to mark, in political and cultural
terms, the beginning of the medieval period. For the purpose of The
A to Z of Medieval India, the period from 1000 A.D. to 1526 A.D.
will be considered India's medieval times. The turbulent history of
this period is told through the book's chronology, an introductory
essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary
entries on key people, historical geography, arts, institutions,
events, and other important terms.
