Khalji invasions

The Khalji invasions occurred during the early 14th century when the Khalji dynasty from Delhi launched military campaigns into South India to expand their empire and secure revenue sources. Led by rulers like Alauddin Khalji, these invasions aimed to control wealthy regions, including parts of present-day Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, through military conquest and raids. While they achieved some territorial expansion, the invasions also drained resources and faced stiff resistance. Overall, these campaigns significantly impacted the political landscape of India, strengthening Delhi’s influence in southern regions while highlighting the challenges of maintaining long-term control over distant territories.
