during that time , of course southern empires were powerful.North indian kingdoms did not fight the Turks. The Turkic invader Mahmud Ghazni invaded and plundered north India 17 times but none of the north Indian rulers were able to defeat him. In fact some north Indian rulers even surrendered without a fight like cowards. When Ghazni invaded Gujarat the ruler of Gujarat fled instead of fighting like a real warrior and betrayed his subjects.
But why did Ghazni never lead any military campaigns into the Deccan and south India?
The answer is obvious. The 2 most powerful Dynasties of South Asia ruled at that time in the Deccan and south India which were the Western Chalukya Empire and Chola Empire. Ghazni knew that he did not stand a chance against these powerful Dynasties which had a high number of great warriors.
Ghazni came and looted because Rajputs were busy fighting each other.
it depends time to time. Every empire had their peaks and downs.
in BC era it was Nanda empire, Mauryan empire Gupta empire?
Alexander was defeated in north India. Who once defeated the empires from where Ghazni came. So that means North Indian empires are the most powerful isn't it.
It depends in which time era which empire was powerful.
