Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion of pre-Islamic invasions of India, particularly by Alexander, and their impact on India. An overview of the Muslim invasion of India follows, arguing that this was prompted by two factors: the drive to spread Islam and the urge to loot India’s riches. An account is given of the successive waves of invasions and the subsequent expansions of Muslim rule in India by successive dynasties. There is also an account of the resistance that Indian rulers provided to these invasions. In addition, various Hindu kingdoms in South India and the rise and fall of the Marathas are briefly discussed.
