Reconsolidation under Lodi Dynasty (1451 - 1526 Ad) With the help of nobles, Bahlol Lodi (AD 1451 - 1489) became the Sultan. He led the foundation of Lodi Dynasty. Lodis were the decedents of Afghan. Lodis were the first ruling family of Afghani origin. Afghan nobles supported Bahlol Lodi. They were treated as equals in his empire. To pacify Afghan nobles, Bahlol declared that he is one of the peer Afghan and not the king. Bahlol suppressed the revolt in Mewat and Doab. In AD 1476, he defeated and annexed Jaunpur, Kalpi, Dholpur. However, he failed to reoccupy Bengal, Gujarat and Deccan. Sikander Lodi succeeded Bahlol in AD 1489. He showed little tolerance towards non- Muslims. He imposed jaziya on non-Muslims. Sikander believed in the superior position of nobles. He, therefore, compelled nobles and amirs to show formal respect to Sultan in darbar and outside the palace. Sikander retained Bihar, Dholpur, Narwar, Gwalior, Nagor to Delhi Sultanate. After the death of Sikander, Ibrahim Lodi became Sultan with the help of nobles. Major revolts during the period of Ibrahim Lodi were against his brother Jalal Khan and Daulat Khan, who was the governor of Punjab. Daulat Khan invited Babur to help in the battle against Ibrahim Lodi. Babur defeated Ibrahim in the battle of Panipat in AD 1526 and laid the foundation of the Mughal empire in India. Challenges Faced by the Sultanate The Delhi Sultanate went through major challenges during their vast rule. Attacks by Mongols and Others 1 of 3 9/22/2021 History: Establishment and Expansion of Delhi Sultanate: Reconsolidation under Lodi Dynasty- FlexiPrep ©FlexiPrep. Report ©violations ＠https://tips.fbi.gov/ Mongols were the nomadic groups who inhabited the steppes north of China and east of Lake Baikal. Chengiz Khan formed the Mongol empire in the 12th century. They posed a threat to the Sultanate and faced frequent invasions. Balban and Alauddin Khalji faced them with full force. During the time of Khalji, Mongols under Qultlug Khan attacked Delhi. The last significant Mongolian attack was by Tarmashirin, against Muhammad Tughlaq. Timur was another important ruler who attacked Delhi Sultanate in 1398. Timur was the son of Chagtai branch of Turks. Timur՚s raid was mainly motivated by plundering and looting. He ordered a general massacre in Delhi, killing common people. Timur defeated Sultan Nasiruddin and his Wazir Mallu Iqbasl. His attack indicates the decline of Delhi Sultanate. Inner Conflict of Nobility 2 of 3 9/22/2021 History: Establishment and Expansion of Delhi Sultanate: Reconsolidation under Lodi Dynasty- FlexiPrep The conflict between the Sultan and Nobles (Ulema) was one of the reasons for the decline of Delhi Sultanate. They influenced the succession of Sultans from the period of Iltumish. The ‘Chahalgani’ created by Iltumish soon became factions and made their favourite son/daughter as Sultan. This continued until the period of Tughlaq. Provincial Kingdoms Another challenge was the declaration of independence by the regional kingdoms. In this process, several Afghan and Turkish kingdoms emerged. Some of them were Bengal, Jaunpur, Malwa, Gujarat, Bahmani Kingdoms. Resistance by Indian Chiefs Sultans had to face resistance from Indian chiefs frequently. Some of them were Rajput chiefs, Warangal, Deogir, Ma ′ bar , king of Dhar, Malwa, Jajnagar etc. All these struggles weakened the Sultanate. Developed by: Mindsprite Solutions 3 of 3.

  • Coins of Delhi Sultanate
    Coins of Delhi Sultanate 5.1 Do you know Description Image Source Once the Delhi sultanate was firmly established in the 13th century, Indian coinage underwent a major change. The ancient pictorial tradition of coinage gave way to the so-called Islamic type of coins which were sans any pictorial motif. Islamic type of coins had inscription written in Arabic script on both the sides and furnished more information than their ancient counter parts. It offers Religious and Secular information The Khalji sultan Alauddin Muhammad Shah (1296-1316 CE), discarded the name of Abbasid Caliph from his coins and called himself Yamin- ul Khilafat (right hand of Caliph). The title was used for the first time by an Indian ruler. He also adopted the title of sikander-us-sani (Second Alexander). This indicates that he was well aware of the importance of Alexander, and wanted to be recognised as the second Alexander. Qutubuddin Mubarak (1316-1320 CE), the successor of Alauddin Khalji is known to have issued coins in gold, silver, billon and copper. He made a remarkable change in his coin inscription as he has not only discarded the name of Abbasid caliph but declared himself as caliph and called himself khalifullah (caliph of Allah) and Khalifah rabil alemin (caliph of the lord of the world). He also adopted the title of sikander uz zaman. Muhammad bin Tughluq (1325-1351 CE) introduced token currency in bronze. It weighed around 10 gm. and ruler has asked to accept this bronze tanka at the rate of silver tanka current in the market.

The study will provide policymakers with comprehensive historical background, analyses, and policy options for developing regional security strategies that closely engage countries of Central Asia in resolving the Afghanistan-Pakistan issue. Afghanistan’s protracted conflict has long attracted militants from all over the world eager to fight a “holy war” against the “unbelievers”. During the Soviet-Afghan war they were known as mujahedeen. Since the launch of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom and ouster of the Taliban from Afghanistan, these militants have become to be known as jihadis. The jihadi movement is a combination of various militant groups that came to existence with the Western, Saudi, and Pakistani support during the Afghan resistance to the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.

  • First Battle of Panipat Babur Defeated Ibrahim Lodhi , Foundation of Mughal Dynasty by Babur
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 First battle of Panipat Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi , foundation of Mughal dynasty by Babur *Dr.Ramesha.T, Dept of History, Govt First Grade College, Vijayanagara – Bengaluru Abstract Panipat has been described as the pivot of indian history for 300 years. And its story begins in the first great battle of 1526.After the fall of the sayyids,the afghan lodi dynasty had seized power at delhi. The power of the sultanate had decreased considerably at this time,though the sultan could still command significant resources. Ibrahim lodi,the third ruler was unpopular with the nobility for his persecution and execution of a large number of old nobles. A prominent noble,Daulat khan fearing for his life appealed to Zahir-ud-din Babur,the Timurid ruler of Kabul to come and depose ibrahim lodi. It was thought that babur would defeat lodi,plunder and leave. Babur however had different ideas. Babur,a timurid prince with descent from Timur and Chingiz khan had originally inherited the kingdom of fergana — one of the brekaway regions in the aftermath of the breakup of the once mighty timurid empire.The twoforemost powers in the region at this time were the Safavids of Iran and The Uzbeks of central asia. Squeezed between them babur had to fight for survival. Gaining and losing Samarkand 3 times he eventually moved to Kabul in 1504,where he aimed to consolidate a powebase. It was here that he came into touch with India and between 1504 and 1524 had raided across the Northwestern frontier 4 times.

  • 7 Battles of Mughal Army
    Battles of Mughal Army Module - II Military History of Medieval India 7 BATTLES OF MUGHAL ARMY Note In the previous lesson, you studied the factors that encouraged Babur to invade India, composition of the Mughal Army and their war equipment and weapons. You also learnt that the Mughal artillery was a new weapon of war and terrifying to the enemies. The gunpowder played a vital role in winning battles and in the establishment and expansion of the Mughal empire. In this lesson, you will study the three important battles fought by Babur which laid a solid foundation of the Mughal rule in India. Panipat (a town in Haryana) has been described as the pivot of Indian history for 300 years. And its story begins in the first great battle that took place in 1526. The victory at Panipat, significant as it was, did not allow Babur the luxury to sit back and savour the moment for long. For there were other enemies such as that of Rana Sanga, the powerful ruler of Mewar to be subdued in land called Hindustan. After capturing Delhi, Babur lived for only four more years. His son Humayun and grandson Akbar continued the consolidation of Mughal power after his death. Although Mughal influence reached its political peak during Akbar's time, the foundation was laid by Akbar's grandfather. Objectives After studing this lesson you will be able to: explain the first battle of Panipat and battle field tactics of the Mughals and discuss the power-struggle that existed during the early years of the Mughal Dynasty.

  • Chapter Ii History
    CHAPTER II HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD The archaeological discoveries prove that the region of Panipat was inhabited by human beings from very earlier times and had been the centre of vigorous cultural and political activity. We know from the hymns of the Rigveda (VII, 18,19; V.52,17) that the Bharatas of the Saraswati Valley held sway up to the Yamuna river and defeated Ajas, Sigrus and Yaksus1. The archaeological heritage of Panipat region can be divided into pre-historic, proto-historic and historical phases. The extent of archaeological sites of Panipat district, numbering 63, can be classified into Pre-Harappan, Harappan, Late Harappan, Painted Grey Ware (PGW), Grey Ware, Early Historical, Early Medieval and Medieval periods2. Alexander Cunningham and Rodgers were the first archaeologists who collected some relics specially coins from a few sites of Panipat. But it was in the year 1952 that B. B. Lal of Archaeological Survey of India discovered Painted Grey Ware and Northern Black Polished Ware from the mounds of Panipat and Sonepat. S. B. Chaudhary also discovered the Painted Grey Ware at Baholi, 13 kilometres to north-west of Panipat3. Subsequent archaeological explorations conducted by a number of archaeologists and recent explorations along the right bank of River Yamuna conducted under the supervision of C. Dorje have resulted to the discovery of Dull Red Ware in Garsh Sanrai in Panipat Tehsil and Red Ware, Red Polished Ware and Dull Red Ware in Jaurasi Khalsa in Samalkha Tehsil of Panipat district. These explorations have brought to light several ancient mounds containing the relics of bygone history4.

  • An Overview of Medieval India
    Dr. Rita Sharma Assistant Professor History An Overview of Medieval India Medieval period is an important period in the history of India because of the developments in the field of art and languages, culture and religion. Also the period has witnessed the impact of other religions on the Indian culture. Beginning of Medieval period is marked by the rise of the Rajput clan. This period is also referred to as Postclassical Era. Medieval period lasted from the 8th to the 18th century CE with early medieval period from the 8th to the 13th century and the late medieval period from the 13th to the 18th century. Early Medieval period witnessed wars among regional kingdoms from north and south India where as late medieval period saw the number of Muslim invasions by Mughals, Afghans and Turks. By the end of the fifteenth century European traders started doing trade and around mid- eighteenth century they became a political force in India marking the end of medieval period. But some scholars believe that start of Mughal Empire is the end of medieval period in India. Main Empires and Events in Medieval period Rajput Kingdoms – Rajput came for the first time in the 7th century AD. But historians gave different theories of their origin. After the mid-16th century, many Rajput rulers formed close relationships with the Mughal emperors and served them in different capacities. It was due to the support of the Rajputs that Akbar was able to lay the foundations of the Mughal Empire in India. Some Rajput nobles gave away their daughters in marriage to Mughal emperors and princes for political motives.

  • Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, 1500 - 1605
    Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, 1500 - 1605 A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew de la Garza Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin, Advisor; Stephen Dale; Jennifer Siegel Copyright by Andrew de la Garza 2010 Abstract This doctoral dissertation, Mughals at War: Babur, Akbar and the Indian Military Revolution, examines the transformation of warfare in South Asia during the foundation and consolidation of the Mughal Empire. It emphasizes the practical specifics of how the Imperial army waged war and prepared for war—technology, tactics, operations, training and logistics. These are topics poorly covered in the existing Mughal historiography, which primarily addresses military affairs through their background and context— cultural, political and economic. I argue that events in India during this period in many ways paralleled the early stages of the ongoing “Military Revolution” in early modern Europe. The Mughals effectively combined the martial implements and practices of Europe, Central Asia and India into a model that was well suited for the unique demands and challenges of their setting. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to John Nira. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Professor John F. Guilmartin and the other members of my committee, Professors Stephen Dale and Jennifer Siegel, for their invaluable advice and assistance. I am also grateful to the many other colleagues, both faculty and graduate students, who helped me in so many ways during this long, challenging process.
