Why Prithviraj Chauhan Lost The Second Battle Of Tarain?

Summary

Why did Prithviraj Chauhan lose the Second Battle of Tarain despite defeating Muhammad Ghori in their first encounter? On NDTV's Indology, defence analyst Abhijit Iyer-Mitra explains how Ghori adapted his military tactics, using night raids and mounted archers to weaken Prithviraj's infantry formations. He argues that Prithviraj failed to anticipate the change in strategy, allowing the Turkish cavalry to wear down his forces until their discipline and formation collapsed. #Indology #AbhijitIyerMitra #GaurieDwivedi #PrithvirajChauhan #MuhammadGhori #BattleOfTarain #IndianHistory…
