dynasty of Assam, Rajputs of Rajasthan, Hoslaya dynasty of Karnataka and various other
smaller empires existed at the time.
URBAN SETTINGS THROUGH HISTORY : MEDIEVAL
In South India between 800 and 1300 CE urbanization received a strong stimulus where the
rise of cities was connected with the rise and decline of dynasties.
The inner squares were occupied by the upper castes while the lower castes lived in the
periphery of the city.
From 1000 to 1526 CE urabanization in North India bore the stamp of the new Muslim rulers.
At the southern periphery of the Mughal empire, the rise of the Bahmani kingdoms and
Vijayanagara empire, the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad contributed to urban
development.
Eg: Pune, Golconda, Hyderabad, Bijapur and Aurangabad are urban centres of this period.
