What is Deccan Sultanates?
[[File:Karta sodra indien 1500.jpg|thumb|The Deccan sultanates, in 1500]] The '''Deccan sultanates''' is the name for five [[Islam]]ic [[kingdom]]s which existed in the [[Deccan Plateau]], in the [[Middle Ages]]. They all had at least a part of the territory on the [[Deccan Plateau]]. The sultanates came into existence when the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] broke up. Much like the Bahmani Sultanate, these kingdoms regularly fought against the [[Hindu]] [[Vijayanagara Empire]] in [[South India]] but also commonly and most fought amongst themselves for territory. {{history-stub}} [[Category:16th century in India]] [[Category:15th century in India]]
