Compare the maps in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. What differences do you notice? What is the 'reshaping' that has occurred? (Page 41) Class 8

Answer:

Fig. 1 shows the Delhi Sultanate under the Tughlaqs and Lodis. Most of the power in North India, with smaller kingdoms in South and East.

Fig. 2. shows strong kingdoms in the South, the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanate. Power shifted from the North to the South.

Fig. 3. shows the large Mughal empire. Later, as the Mughals became weak, many regional powers like the Marathas and Sikhs rose.

The reshaping shows how power moved from North to South and then to different regions. Over time, big empires broke into smaller kingdoms.
