First Battle of Panipat
Babur · Ibrahim Lodi
Timurid-Mughal army under Babur vs. the Delhi Sultanate under Ibrahim Lodi
Babur sought a lasting kingdom in Hindustan after years of struggle in Central Asia. Field artillery and tactical discipline confronted a numerically larger Lodi army.
Babur used defensive wagons, flanking cavalry, and gunpowder weapons to break Lodi’s centre and collapse the sultanate’s army.
The victory opened northern India to Mughal rule and began a new imperial era on the subcontinent.
