Region and Empire

Region and Empire: Large states like those of the Cholas Tughluqs or Mughals encompassed many regions. A Sanskrit Prashasti praising the Delhi Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban (1266-1287) explained that he was the rulers of a vast empire that stretched from Bengal (Gauda) in the east to Ghazni (Gajjana) in Afghanistan in the west and included all of south India (Dravida). People of Different regions- Gauda, Andhra, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat- apparently fled before his armies. Historians regard these as exaggerated claims of conquests.

When the Mughal Empire declined in the eighteenth century, it led to the re- emergence of regional states. But years of imperial," pan- regional rule" mean applies to the trends of the extending the empire to the region beyond one's own state . Many regional states were emerged along with the decline of Mughal empire in the eighteenth century . across most of the subcontinent the regions were left with legacies of the big and small states that had rule over them.This was apparent in the emergence of many distinct and shared traditions: in the realms of governance, the management of the economy, elite cultures, and language were brightened.

 Through the thousand years between 700 and 1750 the character of the different regions did not grow in isolation . people learnt a lot of new things , manners etc. without their own culture and identity.
