Indian medieval history - beginning and end - a brief overview before our start

-

 👋Hello guys, I am posting some notes on medieval Indian History. These will be basic short notes. You may get some understanding of the timeline of Indian medieval history from here. 


Our learning path will be like this 

1. First, you read all the notes available here, which would take maybe an hour or so 

2. You will get to know when you finish the first point. 



So, Indian Medieval history. 

The first thing we must know is the timeline. Indian medieval history starts around 712 AD and ends about 1707 AD, or, as some others may believe, until 1857. 


The history before this is categorized as ancient history, and after this is modern history. 

Now I think this is enough introduction, we can dive directly into the history from the next chapter.
