In 1526, Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur crossed the Hindu Kush with a small, determined army to challenge the Lodis of Delhi. This episode explores the tactical brilliance behind the First Battle of Panipat, where Babur’s use of tulughma flanking maneuvers and field artillery dismantled Ibrahim Lodi’s massive but unwieldy force. We look at the specific moments on the battlefield that turned the tide, the role of Daulat Khan Lodi’s betrayal, and how this single engagement laid the foundation for the Mughal Empire in India. Through the eyes of both the victor and the vanquished, we reconstruct the chaos of April 21st, 1526, and examine why Babur’s victory was less about brute strength and more about military innovation meeting political opportunity. #FirstBattleOfPanipat #ZahiruddinBabur #IbrahimLodi #MughalEmpire #DelhiSultanate #LodiDynasty #Tulughma #FieldArtillery #DaulatKhanLodi #HinduKush #1526History #MedievalIndia #SouthAsianHistory #MilitaryStrategy #GunpowderEmpires #Baburnama #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
