Medieval India's Agrarian Growth

The early medieval period in India saw the growth of an agrarian economy from the 8th to 13th centuries, as evidenced by the increasing use of land grants to organize cultivation and land relations across most of the subcontinent by the end of the 12th century. Agricultural expansion during this period utilized more advanced techniques like plow cultivation and irrigation, as well as institutional management of farms and new relations of production, leading to increased commercial activity in agricultural and other goods but also new social tensions.
