Question

Which battle in 1192 AD led to the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan and laid the foundation of the Delhi Sultanate?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Second Battle of Tarain

The Second Battle of Tarain, fought in 1192 AD between Muhammad of Ghor and Prithviraj Chauhan, resulted in Prithviraj's decisive defeat, unlike the First Battle of Tarain (1191) where Prithviraj had actually won.

This 1192 defeat broke the last major Rajput resistance in North India and paved the way for the eventual establishment of the Delhi Sultanate.

The Battle of Thanesar and the Battle of Haldighati are separate historical events unrelated to Prithviraj Chauhan's defeat in 1192.
