Ok let's predict questions in Medieval History.
But before that let's have a look at the topics mentioned in the syllabus:
1. Arab invasion of Sind
2. Mahmum Ghazni's invasion -- its character, reasons and impact
3. Mohammad Ghori's invasion -- the battles of Tarain, its impact
4. Causes of defeat of Rajputs/success of the Turks, Comparing Ghazni and Ghori, Ghazni's place in History.
5. Market and Military reforms of Aladin Khalji, Utopian policies of Mohd. bin Tughlaq (No mention of Estabilshment of the mameluk empire, not even a passing reference to Aibak, Iltutmish,Balban or Rajia ???) -- History experts, please throw light on it.
6. Mongol Invasion of India
7. Religious movement: Sufism, Bhakti movement
8. Indo-Islamic architecture, Development of Hindi and Urdu
9. Mughals
10. Marathas
Now since there will be only one question from this group, it is unlikely that this question will feature only one of these topics. Most likely, the question will have four sub questions a, b, c & d and will attempt to cover the salient features of this period.(From Sultanate to Mughals).
So now, come on let's pitch in your predictions, suggestions, remarks, strategies. Everybody's welcome. My prediction to begin with:
Q. (a) "Mohammad bin Tughlaq was a man ahead of his times", Elucidate (10)
(b) Explain Akbar's policy of Sulah-e-kul. (10)
(c) Write a note on striking features of Mughal Architecture. (10)
(d) Shivaji's concept of 'Swarajya' (10)
