💡 Solution & Explanation
The First Battle of Tarain in 1191 CE saw the Rajput forces led by Prithviraj Chauhan inflict a severe defeat on the invading army of Mu'izz ad-Din Muhammad Ghori. Muhammad Ghori returned the following year in 1192 CE and secured a decisive victory at the Second Battle of Tarain against the same adversary. A vital historical implication is that the second battle laid the foundation for Muslim Turkish rule in northern India.
