The medieval period in India is generally considered to have begun with the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate in the early 13th century. The Delhi Sultanate was founded in 1206 when Qutb-ud-din Aibak became the first Sultan of Delhi. This marked the beginning of Muslim rule in India and a significant departure from the earlier Hindu and Buddhist dynasties.

The medieval period in India is often divided into various phases and encompasses a wide range of dynasties and rulers. It continued until the arrival of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, specifically with the establishment of the Mughal Empire by Babur in 1526. The Mughal Empire is often seen as the early modern period in India, which followed the medieval era.
