Second Battle of Tarain

In 1192, Muhammad of Ghor returned to Tarain and defeated the forces of Prithviraj Chauhan. The victory opened the way for rapid Ghurid expansion across parts of northern India and for Qutb ud-Din Aibak's subsequent consolidation of territories that became the core of the Delhi Sultanate.
