Babur
Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur (1483–1530) was the first Mogul ruler in India. He was originally a prince of the Timurid state of Ferghana in the area known as Transoxiana (modern day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan). He was descended from the two great Central Asian conquerors: Timur and, more distantly, Genghis Khan. Babur was both a talented soldier and an accomplished poet. His vividly written memoir, called the Tuzuk-i-Baburi or Book of Babur, gives a first-hand account of his conquest of India i...
Sultan Ibrahim Lodi
Sultan Ibrahim Lodi (?–1526) was the last ruler of the Lodi Sultanate of Delhi. His defeat by Babur at the battle of Panipat marked the end of the Delhi Sultanate and the beginning of the Mogul empire in India. The Lodi dynasty was the last of a succession of five Turkish and Afghan dynasties collectively known as the Delhi Sultanate, founded when the Ghurid general Qutb-ud-din Aibak declared himself sultan in 1206. The first Lodi sultan, Buhlul Lodi, was a member of an Afghan family that had...
Humayan
Humayan (1508–56), the second Mogul emperor, almost lost the north Indian empire that his father, Babur, had conquered. Humayan was already an experienced commander when he inherited the Mogul empire in 1530 at the age of twenty-three. He had fought with his father against the Lodi dynasty and had led the campaign against Muhhamed Lodi, a member of the deposed dynasty who had captured Jaunpur. Despite his experience, Humayan was not as capable as is father. By all accounts, he was more intere...
Panipat
The defeat of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi by Babur at the battle of Panipat on April 20, 1526, is often described as the beginning of the Mogul empire in India. The Lodi sultanate in Delhi had grown weak under the rule of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi. In 1524, the governors who ruled the Punjab and Sind invited Babur to help defend them against the Sultan. Rana (ruler) Sanga, the leader of the powerful Rajput state of Mewar, also allied himself with Babur against the Sultan, agreeing to attack Delhi from the...
Talikota
The defeat of Rama Raya at the battle of Talikota, also known as the battle of Rakshasi-Tangedi, on January 23, 1565, meant the effective end of the powerful Hindu empire of Vijayanagar, which had stood as a bulwark against Muslim expansion to the south for two hundred years. Under Rama Raya’s leadership, Vijayanagar had become increasingly involved in the internecine quarrels of the Deccani sultanates (sultanates located in the Deccan Plateau of south central India). Vijayanagar’s armed inte...
Haldighati
The defeat of Pratap Singh, the Rana (ruler) of Mewar, at the Battle of Haldighati on June 21, 1576, was technically a Mogul victory. However, the Mogul general, Man Singh, was not able to establish control over the region or capture the Rana. Mewar did not become part of the Mogul Empire until 1617. Although Pratap Singh’s defiance of Mogul rule is often portrayed as an example of early Hindu nationalism, the reality is more complex. Pratap Singh’s forces at the battle of Haldighati included...
Unique Indian Blades
The metal used in creating the famous blades of Damascus was imported from India. Indian steel was made by a special process that created a highly valued “watered” pattern on the blade. Hot crumbled iron was reheated in a crucible with charcoal heaped around it until the iron became partly recarbonized. When the iron was later drawn out on the anvil as steel, it showed a beautiful pattern of lines as a result of the crystallizing of the metal. When the Mongol conqueror Timur captured Damascus...
The Mogul dynasty ruled northern India for 200 years. At its peak, the Mogul Empire covered more territory than any other Indian empire, recreating an ideal of India as a single political unity in that had not been realized since the Guptas ruled the sub-continent between 300 and 500. Unlike the Safavid and Ottoman empires that developed in much th...
