मध्य आशियातून आलेल्या आक्रमणापुढे उत्तर भारतीय राजसत्ता पराभूत झाल्या कारण : North Indian powers were defeated at the hands of invaders from Central Asia because :
(a)भारतीय सैनिकांना लूट मिळण्याची शक्यता नव्हती. / Indian soldiers could not hope to get plunder.
(b)जातिभेदांमुळे भारतीय सैनिकत एकोप्या नव्हता. / There was no unity among Indian soldiers due to casteism.
(c)मध्य आशियाई सैन्याची शस्त्रास्त्रे अधिक आधुनिक होती. / Central Asian soldiers had more modern weapons.
(d)आक्रमक सैन्याचे नेतृत्व गुलाम लोक करीत होते. / The invading army was led by slaves.
North Indian kingdoms suffered defeats against Central Asian invaders due to social fragmentation like casteism preventing unity and lack of economic/plunder incentives for ordinary soldiers compared to motivated invaders.
