4 0

"Inherent weakness: First, the Turco-Afghan Empire was built on the power of the sword. It never rested on the foundation of the good-will of the ruled, without which on Empire can last long.Absence of strong rules: Secondly, the organization of the empire was inherently weak. The successors were weak and inefficient. If the reigning prince happened to be strong, it worked. But if the ruler proved a weakling, the whole structure gave away. Unfortunately after the death of Sultan Firoz on strong ruler arose and successive rule of weak kings hastened the process of decline.Unenlightened policy of the Govt.: Thirdly, the Turco-Afghans rules failed to evolve any broad and enlightened policy of government. They were mostly orthodox and intolerant in their views so that they failed to enlist the moral support of the Hindus who formed the bulk of the population.Mistakes of Muhammad-bin-Tughluq: Fourthly, the wild and visionary projects of Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughluq plunged the country in hopeless chaos and confusion from the effects of which it was never destined to rise again.Absence of popular support: Fifthly, the Delhi Sultanate is based on military strength and not on popular support. As a result of this, when the military power weakened because of the weak Sultans, self- seeking provincial leaders and military generals revolted against the Sultanate. In the 14th century, many provincial leaders declared themselves free leading to the disintegration of Delhi Sultanate.Invasion of Tamer: Finally, the invasion of Tamerlane, gave the final blow to the remnants of the Turco-Afghan Empire, so that fell to pieces almost immediately"

How do you think the perspectives of the Europeans and the Taino people would vary?

ruslelena [56]

I think that they would vary because the Taino people ate, dressed, looked, and had a different lifestyle than the Europeans. Also the Europeans may say that what they are doing is exploring or looking for India. While the Taino will say that they are taking over their land and rights. Also the way that they ate things such as potatoes may differ. There were different perspectives that the Europeans had about the Taino and vice versa. You can relate to this somewhat by thinking you went exploring and come across this area of land where people are and you decide to explore it. You find that these people are different from you and that you are different from them from the way they look to the way they eat. You think that what your lifestyle is correct while the other people think theirs is correct. That is somewhat similar to the Europeans and Taino.

Hope this helps!

Otrada [13]

The headline itself is racist in nature. The headline is meant to strike balance but in the diction of the report, there is element of racism in it.

<h3>Why is the headline racist in nature?</h3>

The headline is bias through name calling such as Negroes and White. Hence, the headline is like using dirt to clean dirts. The reporter is also bias in his choice of words, so, both the report and the headline are racist in nature.
