Give idea about first battle of Panipat

Answer 1

Dear Student,
The First Battle of Panipat, took place on 21 April 1526, it was fought between the invading forces of Babur and the Lodi dynasty. The battle marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire and the end of the Delhi Sultanate.

The battle was the result of policies of Ibraham Lodhi which resulted in nobility turning against him and rebel. Ibrahim Lodhi's attitude towards his officials and nobility was resented. He also crushed and put to death nobility who rebelled against him. Thus, ​Daulat Khan Lodi, and Alma Khan invited Bbaur to fight against him.It was one of the most decisive battles fought, resulting in the victory of the Mughals.

Babur introduced Guns and Canons in this battle which proved decisive for Babur in winning the Panipat battle against Ibrahim Lodi. The victory in the battle made Babur the master of Delhi and Agra, the two political centers of northern India.The treasures that Babur came to acquire from the royal treasury of Delhi made him financially very strong. He earned the name " Kalandhari" for distributing wealth and precious stones among his people The first battle of Panipat opened the gate for Mughal-Afghan contest that continued even after the death of Babur.
