Wilkinson: Configurations of the Indic States System 63 CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INDIC STATES SYSTEM David Wilkinson In his essay "De systematibus civitatum," Martin Wight sought to clari- fy Pufendorfs concept of states-systems, and in doing so "to formulate some of the questions or propositions which a comparative study of states-systems would examine." (1977:22) "States system" is variously defined, with variation especially as to the degrees of common purpose, unity of action, and mutually recognized legitima- cy thought to be properly entailed by that concept. As cited by Wight (1977:21-23), Heeren's concept is federal, Pufendorfs confederal, Wight's own one rather of mutuality of recognized legitimate independence. Montague Bernard's minimal definition—"a group of states having relations more or less permanent with one another"—begs no questions, and is adopted in this article. Wight's essay poses a rich menu of questions for the comparative study of states systems.

Introduction The Sultanate of Delhi, said to have been formally founded by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, one of the Viceroys of Muhammad Ghori. It is known as the Sultanate of Delhi because during the greater part of the Sultanate, its capital was Delhi. The Sultanate of Delhi (1206–1526) had five ruling dynasties viz., 1) The Slave dynasty (1206-1290), 2) The Khilji Dynasty (1290–1320) 3), The Tughlaq Dynasty (1320–1414), 4) The Sayyad Dynasty (1414–1451) and 5) The Lodi dynasty (1451–1526). The first dynasty of the Sultanate has been designated by various historians as ‘The Slave’, ‘The Early Turk’, ‘The Mamluk’ and ‘The Ilbari’ 2. Slave/Mamluk Dynasty 2.1. Qutb-ud-din Aibak (1206 – 1210) Qutb-ud-din Aibak was the founder of the Slave/Mamluk dynasty. He was the Turk of the Aibak tribe.

We therefore need to define the meaning of the term ‘ancient society’ to begin with and then move on to define a loose chronology in the context of the sources and their readings. It would also be useful to have an understanding about the various readings of the sources, a kind of a historiography of the interpretative regime. In order to facilitate a better understanding this unit is divided into five sections. In the introduction we have discussed the range of interpretations that are deployed on the sources and often the sources also become interpretative in nature. The complexity of the sources has also been dealt with in the same context. The new section then discusses the ancient society and what it means. This discussion is spread across the regions and the varying sources that range from archaeology to oral traditions. The last section then gives some concluding remarks. 1.1 SOURCES Here we introduce you to different kinds of sources that help us reconstruct the social structure.

  • Muslim Invasions on India in the Medieval Period and Its Impact
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ISSN NO : 2236-6124 Muslim Invasions on India in the Medieval Period and Its Impact S.M. Gulam Hussain, Lecturer in History Department of History, Osmania College (A), Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh ABSTRACT: Medieval period is an important period in the history of India because of the developments in the field of art and languages, culture and religion. In the early medieval age India was on the threshold of phenomenal changes in the domains of polity, economy, society and culture. The impact of these changes is visible even today influencing the growth of India as one nation. Early Medieval period witnessed wars among regional kingdoms from north and south India where as late medieval period saw the number of Muslim invasions by Mughals, Afghans and Turks. The impact of Islam on Indian culture has been inestimable. It permanently influenced the development of all areas of human endeavour- language, dress, cuisine, all the art forms, architecture and urban design, and social customs and values. This paper describes the Muslim invasions on India in the Medieval Period and its impact. Keywords: Medieval period, Culture, Religion, Muslim invasions, Inestimable 1. INTRODUCTION: Medieval period lasted from the 8th to the 18th century CE with early Medieval period from the 8th to the 13th century and the late medieval period from the 13th to the 18th century.

  • The Predecessors of the Gahadavalas of Kanauj
    A r t ic l e No. 9. The Predecessors of the Gahadavalas of Kanauj. By N. B. Sanyai., M.A., Rajsftahi. The rule of the Imperial Pratiharas terminated about the year 1020 A.D. and the Gahadavalas under Chandradeva rose into prominence about the close of the eleventh century A.D. Ag more than half a century intervenes between these two events, the question naturally arises which was the dynasty that immediately preceded the Gahadavalas in the sovereignty of Kanauj. In this connection the evidence supplied by a Buddhist in- f^cription from Set-maheth^ dated V.E. 1176, i.e. A.D, 1118, cannot be ignored. It records that one Vidyadhara established a vihara for Buddhist monks at the site where the inscription was originally found, and further tells us that Vidhyadhara’s father Janaka served Gopala, the ruler of Gadhipura; i.e. Kanyakubja as his minister {sachiva), and that Vidyadhara himself served Madana, ' the forehead gem of kings.’ Though the panegyrist does not reveal what the actual relationship was between Gopala and Madana, yet the manner of his description indicates that both of them belonged to the same ruling dynasty and pro­ bably the latter was the former’s successor.^ Now Madana’s date is about 1118 A.D., the date of the Set-maheth inscription. Gopala, therefore, must have flourished towards the last quarter of the eleventh century A.D.. and thus about the time when the Gahadavala Chandradeva made himself master of Kanyakubja. As he is called the ruler of Gadhipura, he must have been so be­ fore the rise of Chandradeva because the latter was followed by an unbroken series of kings who all belonged to the Gahadavala family.

INTRODUCTION In conventional studies on Indian polity there is greater stress on the genealogy of the ruling dynasties and chronology of their rules. Changes in polity are mostly conceived as chadges represented by dynastic shifts. In view of the inadequacy of this framework, recent studies on the polity have attempted to view the ancient and medieval polity from the perspective of possible processes which were in operation. There is a marked emphasis now on themes such as state formation, structure of polity, nature of power and political control, etc. However generalization at sub- continental level need to be,probed further from a microscopic point of view. In this Unit we shall know about the emergence and evolution of regional polity in Western and Central ~n'dia.This region comprises modern states of Rajasthan, Gujarat and most of Madhya Pradesh.
