Topic: Ibrahim Lodi


  
  First battle of Panipat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1526, the forces of Zahir al-Din Muhammad Babur, the ruler of Kabul and of Timurid descent, defeated the much larger army of Ibrahim Lodi, the ruler of the large North Indian Delhi Sultanate.
In contrast, Ibrahim Lodhi was loathed by many of his commanders and feudatories because of his legendary cruelty and avarice; his army, which really consisted of separate feudal contingents, loosely held together, started disintegrating under the bombardment of Babur's forces.
Ibrahim Lodi died on the field of battle, abandoned by his feudatories and generals, most of whom would change their allegiance to the new master of Delhi.
