c7.s15.4

The continuity of Hindu rule of the sovereign type was broken, say, for five hundred years from 1206 (Sultan Kutbuddin) to 1707 (Aurangzeb’s death). But even during this period of Hindu political submergence the Cholas maintained their independence down to 1310, Vijayanagara to 1565, and the Rajputs reasserted their power off and on between the Tughlaks (c 1388) and the Moghuls (c 1527) as Northern contemporaries of Vijayanagara.
