Question

what helped south india to develop a unique culture in medieval period?

Answer 1

With the advent of the Mughals and their policies of forcefully converting the people to Muslim, the Hindus who wanted to preserve their culture and religion retreated to the south. They started to reinforce their cultural practices more vigorously in a bet to preserve them. Hence an era of a Hindu culture started, which would be more staunch and different in nature from that which existed in the north.
