Question 6

Give three reasons for the conflict between Vijayanagar and Bahmani kingdoms.

Answer

The three reasons for the conflict between Vijayanagar and Bahmani kingdoms were:

  1. Both the kingdoms wanted to control the fertile Raichur doab (the region between Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers) because of its wealth and economic resources.
  2. Both the kingdoms wanted access to the Godavari basin which had numerous ports through which trade was carried out with foreign countries.
  3. Both the kingdoms wanted to control the diamond mines of Golconda.
