    Sultanate Legacy
    Protected India from being ravaged by
    the Mongols
    Maintained social separateness from
    Hindus
    Introduced new art and architectural
    styles into India
    Facilitated trade in the Indian Ocean due
    to elite culture demands
    Ultimately failed due to constant
    rebellions of Muslim nobles and Hindu
    peasants
    The Sultanate period brought to India new styles of art and architecture which were soon absorbed
    into the existing set up. A number of factors were responsible for events to move in such a direction.
    The existing Indian styles and the new ideas had many common features, which allowed them to
    adapt to one another. For instance both the temple and mosque had large open courtyards. Also many
    temples were converted in mosques by the foreign invaders, and this created a blend of Indian as well
    as foreign styles.
    The Sultanate introduced two new architectural ideas, the dome and the pointed arch. The dome was
    an important decorative structure in Islamic buildings, and soon was implemented in other structures
    as well. The pointed or true arch that was introduced during this period, was completely different
    from the type of arches that were being constructed within the country earlier. The earlier Indian style
    of creating arches was to first put up two pillars. The pillars would then be cut at intervals
    accommodate 'plug in' projections. There would be a sequence of squares that would gradually
    decrease in size creating an arch. The new artisans introduced the true arch. This was achieved by
    making the middle stone a key stone and to have the other stones distribute the load of on the two
    pillars.
