The Solanki Rajputs, A.D. 1174 Summer
The word Raja, with its original Sanskrit meaning of both 'one who rules' and 'one whose duty is to serve', was taken very seriously by the Rajaputra (king's sons) a name which got shortened to Rajputs. Never rulers themselves in centuries past but Ksatryia rather, those Hindus were famous warriors, and maybe even skilled administrators but not rulers themselves. This changed a few centuries ago when the four Agnivanshi clans, namely, the Pratiharas (Pariharas), Solankis (Chaulukyas), Paramaras (Parmars) and Ghosh, Chauhans (Chahamanas), rose to prominence. All those are called "Rajput states". First among equals in those states would be Chaucan kingdom. Having seceded from the Kingdom of Gurjara-Pratiharas one and a half century ago, this is the time when they prepare to expand. All Rajput states are similar in culture, and their greatest advantage is the fanatical devotion of the population. While their bravery has never been in doubt, the fact that they would turn on each other was their greatest disadvantage, and they sought to remedy that through marriage alliances. They are fighting Marathas to the south and the Muslim invaders in the north and west, yet it seems that they mostly fight among themselves.It isn't a choice to be a Rajput though. Rajputs are born into their warrior caste. A lifelong training in the arts of war and a devotion to one's master and sword who leads to death more often than not. A rajput's life is duty whether he is a lowly spearman or a maharaja. It is the same. The rituals they hold when they are about to be overrun are not for the weak. Their women commit "jauhar" a ritual suicide, while the men have the "saka", a fight to the death with no one even considering surrender. This stance put them squarely against any invader who has his eyes set on India.Mahmud of Ghazni was such a man. While a Great Man in the eyes of his people, he spelled doom for hindus. In the two centuries since he established his state, his descendants are at a constant war with Rajputs. Raja Jayapala of the Hindu Shahi Dynasty of Gandhara and his son Anandapala lost to him, thus ending the Hindu states of Uttarapatha which as Mahabharata states were always indian. Then he set his eyes on hind and its riches, vowing to raid every year, and he did so 17 times. India was looted from Varanasi to Somnath. War against his state hasn't stopped since.Yet, the Hindu gods smile upon the Rajput states. Another tribe, the Seljuks are steadily encroaching on the Ghaznavids. What was once a mighty empire, now only holds a remnant. A new thread now stands like a wolf at the Khyber pass, the Sultans of Ghor. The ferocious warlord Muhammad of Ghor and his slaves armies and fanatical warriors have already begun their march into the Punjab. Now is the time for the Hindu Ksatriyas to rise again. First move against Delhi and Lahore and capture them. Then restore the Uttarapatha mahajanapadas and move beyond to the very heart of Asia, or even Arabia and Africa. The future is full of opportunities for the children of the gods. May Lord Rama and Krishna, smile upon you.
印度德裡蘇丹王國, 公元 1174 夏
自古以來,不斷有北方遊牧民族通過西北山口侵入南亞次大陸。這些野蠻的入侵者在不長的時期內,便大都與次大陸原有居民融合。古老的印度文明體系依舊佔據著主導地位,緩慢地向前行進。然而這一次的入侵者卻是高舉伊斯蘭教旗幟,由有共同信仰的突厥人和阿富汗人組成的巴基斯坦古爾王朝。他們的到來不僅改變了次大陸民族的成分,而且還造成了印度封建文明的巨變。伊斯蘭教統治者為了維護自己的政治統治和既得利益,憑借強大的軍事力量建立了具有濃厚伊斯蘭教色彩的封建制度。德裡蘇丹改變了印度傳統的政權形式,採用政教合一的伊斯蘭教神權政體,作為全國最高統治者的蘇丹集君權、教權於一身,由信奉伊斯蘭教的突厥人、阿富汗人和波斯人組成的軍事貴族階層是蘇丹政權的社會基礎和拱衛力量。德裡蘇丹的中央政權由稅收、司法、軍事、驛政和文書等若幹部門組成,各部長官由素丹任命,一改印度傳統的官僚世襲制度。負責稅收的維齊爾,因其掌管著國家財政命脈,權力較大,往往節制其他各部,漸漸成為首相,在國家政治生活中佔有舉足輕重的地位。軍隊兵源主要來自突厥人、阿富汗人、波斯人和蒙古人。歸降臣服的拉其普特王公和印度教教徒只為德裡蘇丹提供輔助兵源。
