The Third Battle of Panipat (Featured)

The Third Battle of Panipat

The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761, at Panipat (Haryana State, India), about 60 miles (95.5 km) north of Delhi. The battle pitted the French-suppliedartillery and cavalry of the Marathas against the heavy cavalry and mounted artillery(zamburak and jizail) of the Afghans led by Ahmad Shah Durrani, an ethnic Pashtun, also known as Ahmad Shah Abdali. The battle is considered one of the largest battles fought in the 18th century.

1st Battle of Panipat : Babur Defeated Ibrahim Lodi at 1526
2nd Battle of Panipat : Akbar Defeated Hemu at 1556

Looking to some factors before the war

...We have already brought Lahore, Multan, Kashmir and other subahs on this side of Attock under our rule for the most part, and places which have not come under our rule we shall soon bring under us. Ahmad Khan Abdali's son Taimur Sultan and Jahan Khan have been pursued by our troops, and their troops completely looted. Both of them have now reached Peshawar with a few broken troops...we have decided to extend our rule up to Kandahar.
-- Raghoba's letter to the Peshwa, 4 May, 1758

Where did the war happen ?

The specific site of the battle itself is disputed by historians but most consider it to have occurred somewhere near modern day Kaalaa Aamb and Sanauli Road. The battle lasted for several days and involved over 125,000 men. Protracted skirmishes occurred, with losses and gains on both sides. The forces led by Ahmad Shah Durrani came out victorious after destroying several Maratha flanks. The extent of the losses on both sides is heavily disputed by historians, but it is believed that between 60,000-70,000 were killed in fighting, while numbers of the injured and prisoners taken vary considerably. The result of the battle was the halting of the Maratha advances in the North.

40,000 cavalry, 15,000 infantry, 15,000 Pindaris and 200 pieces of artillery,. The force was accompanied by 300,000 non-combatants (pilgrims and camp-followers). Thus, totally an army of 70,000.	42,000 cavalry, 38,000 infantry in addition to 10,000 reserves, 4,000 personal guards and 5,000 Qizilbash, 120-130 pieces of cannon as well as large numbers of irregulars. Thus, totally an army of 100,000.

Who was Ahmad Shah Abdali ?

Ahmad Shah was the first emir of Afghanistan and he inherited the throne of Abdali tribe of Afgans. Ahmad Shah later renamed his ancestry as Durrani. Ahmad Shah was the leader of his tribesmen and served Nadir Shah, the King of Persia, who conquered most of Afghanistan and part of India. After the death of Nadir Shah, Ahmad Shah got the independent Afghan kingdom as his own territory. Between 1748 and 1752 Ahmad Shah invaded Punjab six times and was also able to seize and sack Delhi. Although Ahmad Shah was a powerful military leader, he never permanently ruled in India and subsequently withdrew into Afghanistan.

Who was Najib-ul-Daula?

In the Third battle of Panipat, during the Imperial Maratha Conquests, he allied himself with the Durranis led by Ahmad Shah Durrani, against the Marathas. Najib Khan was shrewd enough to understand changed ground realities after third battle of Panipat . His cunning political acumen was used by Ahmed Shah Abdali to isolate Marathas & preventing them from getting even single ally during their conflict with Durrani power. His opposition to signing of treaty, with Marathas was the main cause of battle being fought at Panipat. He not only provided, Ahmed Shah Abdali, with 40,000 Rohilla troops but also 70 guns to the combined forces. He also convinced Shuja-ul-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh, to join Ahmad Shah Abdali's forces against the Marathas. In this battle, the Maratha's were defeated and as a consequence Rohilla increased in power.
After the war he was made vizier of Mughal emperor

Describing the Maratha Army

The Maratha Army consisted of the artillery in front, protected by infantry, pike men, bowman and musketeers. The cavalry was instructed to wait behind the artillery and bayonet holding musketeers and they were ready to charge when control of battlefield is fully established. Behind the line were thirty thousand young men who were not that expert in fighting and then about thirty thousand civilians.

This civilian line consisted of many middle class men, women, children who took this as an opportunity to visit pilgrimage to visit holy places and shrines and also Aryavarta (Aryan Land). Behind the civilian line there was another protective infantry line composed of comparatively young and experienced soldiers.

Maratha Formations--

The Maratha lines began a little to the north of Kala Amb. They had thus blocked the northward path of Abdali's troops and at the same time they themselves were blocked by the latter from the south which was in the direction to Delhi, where they could get badly needed supplies. Bhau, with the Peshwa's son and the household troops, were in the centre. The left wing consisted of the gardis under Ibrahim Khan. Holkar and Sindhia were on the extreme right.

Describing the Abdali’s Army

On the other hand the Afghans also formed up a similar kind of Infantry in the third battle of Panipat, the left wing formed by the Najib`s Rohillas and the right wing by two brigades of Persian troops. The left center was controlled by two higher officials, Shuja-ud-Daulah and ahmad shah`s Vizier Shah Wali. The right center consisted of Rohillas, under Hafiz Rahamat and other chiefs of the Indian Pathans.

Pasand Khan led the left wing, which was composed of well-chosen Afghan horsemen. This way the army moved forward with the Shah at the center so that he could watch and control the battle.

Initial Skirmishes

Battle of Kunjpura

The Marathas attacked the Afghan garrison on the banks of the river Yamuna at Kunjpura, north of Delhi, and killed or enslaved them. The Yamuna was in spate and Abdali, who was on the other side, could not do anything to save them. Along with his soldiers, he took a risk, reached the south of Delhi and crossed the Yamuna there, where it was relatively easier. He wanted to encircle Marathas. The Marathas were unaware of this as they were preoccupied with the skirmish at Kunjpura.

Lesson: One should learn from a setback and improve; one must have the determination to win. Sometimes, a better plan emerges that could increase the probability of success as in Abidali's case, where he saw his troops decimated on the other side of the river.Similarly, one may need to take snap decisions depending on the situation. An individual with a good network and a company that has good market intelligence can get the latest information, which could be crucial in planning and providing competitive advantage.When the stakes are high, lack of intelligence can invariably prove fatal, as in the case of how Abdali crossing the Yamuna went unnoticed by the Marathas.

Next Strategy of Marathas after Abdali crossed Yamuna
When the Marathas realised that the south of the Yamuna was captured by Abdali, they dug their heels in near Panipat to deny him access to Afghanistan. Slowly, Abdali encircled the Maratha army and cut off their supply line. The Afghans continued to get the supplies they needed due to their agreements with a few north Indian kingdoms. Therefore, their need to open up the route towards Afghanistan was not that urgent. But it was a desperate situation for the Maratha army who were expecting reinforcements from the south of the Narmada instead of the neighbouring states.

Lesson: It is important to do 'what if' contingency analysis planning for various scenarios. This upfront analysis may trigger a new partnership or alignment which could benefit the company. Sometimes, one has to provide new concessions to gain the required support and solidify one's position. Both wars and businesses can benefit from a deep multi-step scenario analysis.

Abdali was about to sign a peace treaty with Marathas,but Najib Khan opposed it
There were tensions in the Maratha army due to Abidali's strategy. In the next two months, the skirmishes between the two left many, including Najib Khan's soliders, dead. Abdali sensed a deadlock and decided to sign a peace treaty with the Marathas. The Marathas were keen as well, but Najib Khan advised against the treaty and prevailed upon Abdali to delay his decision.
Lesson: Empower and trust your team members.

How did things happened ?

The very initial scene

Before dawn on January 14, 1761 the Maratha forces emerged from the trenches, pushing the artillery into position on their pre-arranged lines, some 2km from the Afgans. Seeing that the battle was on, Ahmad positioned his 60 smoothbore cannon and opened fire. However, because of the short range of the weapons, the Maratha lines remained untouched. Ahmad then launched a cavalry attack to break their lines

The Maratha artillery was doing its job, but Abdali was too indecisive to come all the way into the field. The Afghans protecting Maratha artillery were loyal enough (as claimed) and held off some small bands of raiders from Abdali's Army (mainly North Indian Muslim horsemen). It seemed like an old fashined slug-fest the Marathas were sure to win.

Then disaster struck when the head of the Maratha cavalry decided to attack before being ordered to. The Maraths flew straight into Abdali's artillery and were decimated.

Eventually, the deteriorating situation forced the Marathas to attack the Afghans before their reinforcements arrived. The Marathas had better French guns and made significant progress. Ibrahim Gardi played a key role in getting early breakthroughs for the Marathas.

By noon, it appeared that the Marathas would win.
Faced with imminent defeat, Abdali called on his highly trained reserve soldiers and cannon-mounted camels. From these camels, they could fire artillery which would go over their own infantry and started decimating the Maratha army.
The Maratha artillery, initially used to weaken the enemy defence, was now placed behind the infantry and thus became ineffective. Besides, Bhau did not have any significant reserves that could join them with artillery for a counter-attack.
Eventually, the tired Maratha forces could not match Abdali's reserve army. This turned the tide in Abdali's favour. By the end of the day, the Marathas had lost the battle.

Appointing of Sadhashivrao as Supreme Commander was a mistake?

· Peshwas decision of appointing Sadashivrao Bhau as the Supreme Commander instead of appointing Malharrao Holkar or Raghunathrao proved to be a kind of unrest among the Maratha Sardars.

· Sadashivrao was totally ignorant of the Political and Military situation of North India.

· Malharrao Holkar and Surajmal Jat had advised Sadashivrao Bhau to use Guerilla warfare against Ahmed Shah Abdali instead of a direct war which was declined by Bhau. He had also advised Bhau that instead of going forward to Panipat, they should wait for the enemy to come in their stronghold where it would become easy for them and difficult for Abdali. Even this advise was rejected by Bhau. Nana Phadnawis has stated that, at that time, Bhau didn't show his usual cleverness and rejected the advise of Malharrao Holkar and Surajmal Jat.

Role of Malharrao Holkar

It is alleged that Malharrao Holkar fled the battle-field in the Third Battle of Panipat 14/01/1761. It is written by many historians that he fought courageously in the battle-field. It is also written that Sadashivrao Bhau had entrusted him the job of saving Parvatibai as soon as told to do so. When Vishwasrao was killed and Sadashivrao Bhau felt they were about to be defeated he sent a message to Malharrao to immediately act as per directions and leave the battlefield. Malharrao acted as per the directions of Sadashivrao and saved Parvatibai. Malharrao was considered to be the right hand man of Peshwa. Others who escaped from this battle were Mahadji Shinde and Nana Phadnawis.

Role of Schindia in final phase

In the final phase the Marathas, under Scindia, attacked Najib Khan (whom he had a personal enimity with). However, Najib successfully fought a defensive action keeping Scindias forces at bay.

Reasons for Failure of Marathas !!!

· The Maratha Muslim logistics infantrymen (Rohillas), who had not been trusted to fight in the front line because their loyalty was suspect—or, rather, who were suspected of being loyal to the Koran or fellow Muslims and not to their country— now responded to the calls of the Afgan army for jihad. They revolted, and started looting and pillaging the Maratha civilians inside the encirclement. This caused brought confusion and great consternation to loyal Maratha soldiers, who thought that the enemy has attacked from behind.

· Sadashivrao Bhau, seeing his forward lines dwindling and civilians behind, felt he had no choice but to come down from his elephant and take a direct part in the battle on horseback at the head of his troops. He left instructions with his bodyguards that, if the battle were lost, they must kill his wife Parvati bai, as he could not abide the thought of her being dishonoured by Afgans.
Some Maratha soldiers, seeing that their general had disappeared from his elephant, panicked and began to flee. Vishwasrao, the son of Prime Minister Nanasaheb, had already fallen to Afgan sniper fire, shot in the head. Sadashivrao Bhau and his bodyguard fought to the end, the Maratha leader having three horses shot out from under him.

· Abdali had given a part of his army the task to surround and kill the Gardis under Ibrahim Gardi, who were at the leftmost part of the Maratha army. Bhausaheb had ordered Vitthal Vinchurkar (with 1500 cavalry) and Damaji Gaikwad (with 2500 cavalry) to protect the Gardi’s. But seeing the Gardi’s fight, they lost their patience, became over enthusiastic and decided to fight the Rohillas themselves. Thus, they broke the round (circle) i.e. they didn’t follow the idea of round battle and went all out on the Rohillas and the Rohillas then started accurately shooting the rifleless Maratha cavalry which was equipped with swords. This gave opportunity to the Rohillas to encircle the Gardis and outflank the Maratha centre while, Shah Wali pressed on attacking the front. Thus, the Gardis were left defenceless and started falling down one by one.

· The Maratha artillery, initially used to weaken the enemy defence, was now placed behind the infantry and thus became ineffective. Besides, Bhau did not have any significant reserves that could join them with artillery for a counter-attack.

· The confident Marathas were led by Sadashivrao Bhau. They had a large army, but very few allies. Most of the kings from the Jat, Sikh and Rajput kingdoms did not support the Marathas as they resented the heavy tax imposed on them during the Maratha capture of north India. A few of them even struck favourable agreements with Abdali.

· The over-enthusiasm of the charge saw many of the Maratha horses exhausted long before they had traveled the two kilometres to the Afgan lines, some simply collapsed. Making matters worse was the suffocating odour of the rotting corpses of men and animals from the fighting of the previous months.

Factfile

"Kim's Gun", also known as the Zamzama was used in the Third Battle of Panipat

Panipat has always favoured the invader

Shlombay= The socrates of Pashtuns.

The battle lasted for several days and involved over 125,000 men

Despite Bhau's success, the over-enthusiasm of the charge and due to a phenomenon called ‘Dakshinayan’ on that fateful day, the sunlight went directly into the horses' eyes, many of the half starved Maratha horses exhausted

The Marathi term "Sankrant Kosalali", meaning "Sankranti has befallen us", is said to have originated from the events of the battle.There are some verbs in Marathi language related to this loss as "Panipat zale"[a major loss has happened] This verb is even today used in Marathi language. A common pun is "Aamchaa Vishwaas Panipataat gela” [we lost our own (Vishwas) faith since Panipat]. Many historians, including British historians of the time, have argued that had it not been for the weakening of the Maratha power at Panipat, the British might never have had a strong foothold in India.

The battle proved the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's poem "With Scindia to Delhi".

Lesson: One needs allies; the need is even stronger when one is operating in a new territory/segment.

Aftermath of the Panipat War.

· The third battle of Panipat ended the great Marathas' advance towards north-west India. However, after a few years under Peshwa Madhav Rao, they recaptured Delhi and retained it till 1818.

Lesson: To rise after a fall requires grit and determination.

· The victorious army led by Durrani oversaw the cremation of the bodies of Vishwas Rao and the Bhau. Many Maratha generals were subsequently tortured and executed by the victorious army. The overriding legacy of the battle was the halting of the Marathas'' advance and the brief restoration of the Mughal Empire.

· However History shows that Marathas had learnt something from their past: The Marathas were back in action just four years later, because they were more or less a loose confederacy... cutting off one head replaced it with multiple smaller ones. A far better showing on the whole compared to usual one hit and a kingdom story of earlier 2 Panipats.

· Abdali's soldiers arrested about 10,000 women and another 10,000 young children and men brought them to their camps. The women were raped, many committed suicide because of constant rapes perpetrated on them. All of the prisoners were exchanged or sold as sex slaves to Afganistan or North India, transported on carts, camels and elephants in bamboo cages.

Defeat of Marathas in the battle of Panipat saw a new beginning of the colonial rule in India.

The story of a place named Panipat

Pachranga pickle is Panipat's new identity. Sold at several hundred outlets along the highway, it is a mix of mango, lemon, chilly, ginger and lotus stem immersed in oil. But the soil of Panipat has been marinated in blood, not oil, for the last 500 years. Sometimes coveted for its own worth, at others as the last hurdle on the road to Delhi, Panipat has always favoured the invader. Lodhis, Mughals, Surs, Marathas and Abdalis have tested their power on its dusty plain, with the outsider winning each time. he second battle of Panipat has not left behind any mementos but an obelisk at Kala Amb on the town's outskirts commemorates the third battle. The Maratha leader Sadashiv Rau Bhau is believed to have fallen at this spot, changing the course of the battle against Ahmed Shah Abdali.

My Take on the Third War of Panipat

The war of Panipat is taken as a huge defeat of Marathas by the historians.Its very true that we lost the battle..but we had had a far reaching effect on the minds of Abdali.After the battle..Abdali was frightened to such an extent that even after winnning the war he did not dare to move forward towards Delhi.Before this invasion Abdali had plundered the land of India many times.But experiencing the valour,courage and bravery of the Marathas he never returned back to India..

Nother interesting thing is that the Marathas fought for the nation and not for their personal benefits.But unfortunately no one helped them.Nor the Hindu kings,nor the Sikhs,nor the Muslim kings helped them.The Marathas travelled in thousands for the cause of the nation about 1200-1400km right from Pune when they came to know about Abdali’s invasion.Travelling today from Pune to Delhi is not that hard.But imagine that time, when their were no modes of transport and the big-big rivers came on the way.Passing through this rivers would had been a hard task.

The Marathas didn’t have an army as such..it was the farmers who also acted as army dur war situation.It was phenomenon like the Marathas used to do farming during the rainy seasons and after Vijaydashmi(Dasshera) they used to turn into soldiers for military expeditions.

Another interesting fact that we should take into consideration was that the main faces of the war Sadhashivrao Bhau was just 29 years and Vishwasrao,son of Nanasaheb Peshwa was 17 years old when the Battle was fought.Ahmed Shah Abdali was 32 years of age..so we would see that this was the war of young people

Abdali had cutoff the food and infantry supplies and the Marathas fought the war when they had not eaten food for five days.The horse and elephants had no fodder to live on.Nextly due to Dakshinayan on 14 Jan the sun rays falled directly on the faces of the Marathas.Still it was till afternooon 12:00 that war was almost won by Marathas but things went wrong on the way..and the war was lost!!!

Ibrhim Gardi’s cannons played a measure role in the war. Due to formation in such a way that in the front was the cannons,follwed by the the soldiers then the pilgrims again followed by young soldiers.In this way Durrani’s soldiers were almost fleeing the battlefield,but in this period of time the Vinchurkar’s and the Gaikwad’s got so enthusiatic that the they overtaked the cannons and went in the forefront to cut the Afghans but due this the cannons had to stop their work as firing at that period of time would mean killing our own soldiers.Nextly the legs ofAfghans fleeing were cut by Abdali’s reserved armies forcing them to retrun back to the battle as a result of which they had to return back to the battlefield and inaction of cannons at this period of time messed up the entire game show and this was the turning point in the war where Abdali’s men had advancement over the Marathas.

Also their were even Afghans about 2000 from the Maratha side fighting against the Abdali’s men.Urge from the enemy for jihad made them turn their minds and they started attacking,looting and plundering the Marathas itself.

This period of time was when the Marathas started fleeing.Their was total mess.By that time Vishwasrao was shot dead adding to discouragement among the Marathas and they cudnt find their Sardars around leading to mess.

Role of Ibrahim Gardi is another important fact.The kind of loyalty shown by this man towards the Marathas is mind blowing.Abdali many times tried to persuade Ibrahim towards his side by telling him that he would be made the Senapati. But his games didn’t affect Ibrahim.At the end of the war injured Ibrahim was brought in front of Abdali…even this time Abdali put forward his wish to accompany him to his place as a Senapati.But Ibrahim Gardi said that he was loyal his commander Sadhashiv Bhau.Abdali granted him mercy,Ibrahim was moving out of the court of Abdali,and Abdali called him again and asked him what would he do next.Ibrahim replied “I will again raise my army and if Allah wishes would come back strong and attack Afghanisthan to take the revenge.”The moment he said this Abdali ordered his man to blow the head of Ibrahim Gardi.We cant forget the contributions of great Ibrahim Gardi!!!

What I want to say is take the War of Panipat positively even if it was a defeat.It was the first time that a nationalist feeling came up through the Great Marathas!!!

The History Of Sheikh Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar Panipati Hazrat Sheikh Sharf

Hazrat Bu-Ali Shah Qalandar PANIPAT, Dargah of Bu Ali Shah Qalandar PANIPAT,

Sheikh Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar Panipati (1209-1324 CE), born at Ganja, Azerbaijan) was a Sufi saint who lived in India. His mausoleum in the town of Panipat is a place of pilgrimage.

Birthplace
One account says he was born in early 1400 in Panipat, India. However an epitaph on his tomb in Persian gives his birthplace as Ganja in present-day Azerbaijan. It traces his descent from Imam e Aazam Nauman Ibn Thaabit Abu Hanifa.

Tomb
The dargah (mausoleum or shrine), mosque and enclosure at the Qalandar Chowk in Panipat were constructed by Mahabat Khan a Mughal General in service of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Mahabat Khan's own tomb in red sandstone is adjacent to the saint's mausoleum. The tombs of Hakim Mukaram Khan and the Urdu poet Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali are also located within the enclosure.

The left wall of the mausoleum has a qasida (panegyric) embossed and painted in blue and gold, written by Zahuri Neishabouri who visited India during the reign of Akbar.

A large number of people from all walks of life - Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians - visit the tomb and offer prayers there each Thursday.

Legends
Various legends exist about the saint. One legend says after the ibadah (act of obedience and submission) of 36 years standing in the water in Karnal he was awarded the status of "Bu Ali" (Fragrance of Ali) by Muhammad. After achieving this Rutba (rank) he was visited by many other Sufi saints. An alternative legend to explain his name says that Muhammad appeared to him in a dream and offered him a wish. The Qalandar asked for prophethood and was told that all positions has been filled and Muhammad was the last one. He asked to be Ali and was told that position was also filled. He then asked for at least the fragrance of Ali and that wish was granted. A scholarly view of his name is that Bu Ali is simply another form of Kuniyyat Abu Ali.

Second Battle of Panipat City

noreply@blogger.com (PANIPAT HARYANA) — Fri, 9 Sep 2011 22:12:00 -0700

On 24th January 1556 AD Mughal ruler Humayun slipped while climbing down the steps of his library and fell to his death. His son Akbar was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne. At the time of Akbar's accession to the throne, the Mughal rule was confined to Kabul, Kandhahar, and parts of Punjab and Delhi.

Akbar was then campaigning in Punjab with his chief minister Bairam Khan. On February 14, 1556, in a garden at Kalanaur, Akbar was enthroned as emperor. Hemu (Hemchandra) was a military chief of the Afghan King Muhammad Adil Shah who had established himself at Chunar and was seeking to expel the Mughals from India. Taking advantage of Humayun's death, Hemu marched to Agra and Delhi in October and occupied it without difficulty, and became the ruler under the title 'Raja Vikramaditya'.

To counter this, Bairam Khan (Akbar's guardian) marched towards Delhi. On November 5 both the armies met at Panipat. Hemu with a large army including 1,500 war elephants had initial success. There was a pitched battle and Hemu was on a winning spree when a stray arrow struck him in the eye. He fell unconscious. As in many other battles, the loss of the leader caused panic among the troops and turned the tide of the battle. The Mughals won the battle. Shah Quli Khan captured the Hawai elephant with its prize occupant, and took it directly to Akbar. Hemu was brought unconscious before Bairam and Akbar. Bairam pleaded Akbar to perform the holy duty of slaying the infidel and earn the Islamic holy title of 'Ghazi'. Among much self-congratulation Akbar then severed the head of unconscious Hemu with his saber.

Some historians claim that Akbar did not kill Hemu himself, but just touched the infidel's head with his sword and his associates finished the gory 'holy' work. After the battle Hemu's head was sent to Kabul as a sign of victory to the ladies of Humayun's harem, and Hemu's torso was sent to Delhi for exposure on a gibbet. Iskandar Khan chased the Hemu's fleeing army and captured 1500 elephants and a large contingent. Hemu's wife escaped from Delhi with the treasure and Pir Mohammad Khan's troops chased her caravan without success. There was a great slaughter of those who were captured and in keeping with the custom of his ancestors, Akbar had a victory pillar built with their heads. This battle, known as Second Battle of Panipat was an epoch-making event in the history of India as it resulted in re-establishment of the Mughal empire in India.

First Battle of Panipat(1526)

noreply@blogger.com (PANIPAT HARYANA) — Fri, 9 Sep 2011 22:11:00 -0700

Date: 21 April 1526
Location: Panipat, Haryana, India
Result: Decisive Mughal victory
Territorial changes: Delhi Sultanate annexed by Mughals

The first Battle of Panipat gave a death blow to the Lodhi empire and marked the end of the Delhi Sultanate's rule in India. It led to the establishment of the Mughal Empire in India. Mongol prince Zahir-ud-Din Muhammad, known as Babur, had promised to help Daulat Khan Lodhi, Governor of Lahore, to fight the Sultan of Delhi Ibrahim Lodhi in 1523 and made many raids into Punjab.

Babur, after occupying the whole of Panjab by 1525 AD, marched towards Delhi. In November 1525 he set out to meet the Sultan of Delhi. Passage of Indus took place on 15th December. Babur had about 12,000 soldiers. Crossing Sutluj at Roper and reached Ambala without meeting any resistance. On April 1st Babur reached Panipat. It was barren wasteland dry and naked with few thorny bushes. Rumors came that Sultan was coming with an army of 100,000 and 1000 war elephants. The Afghan Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodhi advanced from Delhi to meet the invader. Babur had a strong artillery which was effectively pressed into service.

The battle started at six in the morning. Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi advanced rapidly . At about 400 yards Babur's Cannons opened fire, noise and smoke from the artillery terrified the Afghans and the attack lost momentum. Seizing the movement Babur sent out his flanking columns to envelop the Sultan's army. Here the Afghans met for the first time the real weapon of Mongols 'Turko-Mongol Bow'. Its superiority lay in the fact that it was the weapon of the nobles, of the finest warriors. Such a bow in the hands of a Mongol warrior would shoot three times as rapidly as musket and could kill at 200 yards.

Attacked from 3 sides the Afghans jammed into each other. Elephants hearing noise of cannon at close range ran wildly out of control. Ibrahim Lodhi and about 6000 of his troops were involved in actual fighting. Most of his army stretching behind up to a mile never saw action. Battle ended in about 3 hours with the death of Ibrahim Lodhi who was at forefront.

And in place where fighting had been the fiercest, among the heap of Mongols slain of his sword, lay the vain but courageous Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi. His head was cut off and taken to Babur. Ibrahim Lodhi's tomb is still present in Panipat. When afghans fled they left 20,000 dead and wounded. Losses to Babur's army were heavy 4000 of his troops were killed or wounded. Had Sultan Ibrahim survived another hour of fighting he would have won, as Babur had no reserves and his troops were rapidly tiring in Indian mid-day sun. Babur observes in his autobiography, "The mighty army of Delhi was laid in the dust in the course of half a day." In the words of Rushbrook Williams, "If there was one single material factor, which more than any other conduced to his ultimate triumph in Hindustan, it was his powerful artillery." The elephants trampled their own soldiers after being frightened away by the explosion of gunpowder.

Two weeks later the victorious Babur entered Agra where he was presented with the famous diamond 'Koh-i-noor'. Babur celebrated his victory in a lavish manner and occupied Delhi and Agra.

History of Panipat

noreply@blogger.com (PANIPAT HARYANA) — Fri, 9 Sep 2011 21:55:00 -0700

The legendary city of Panduprastha has in later times come to be known as Panipat. Legend has it that at the time of the battle of Mahabharata, five villages were demanded by the Pandavas from Duryodhana of which one was “Panpat”. This developed into one of the five cities-“prasthas”- founded by the Pandava brothers. Panipat in modern times was designated a District. It is located 90 km from Delhi on the National Highway-1 on the Sher Shah Suri Marg. This city could very well have become the capital of India, had the Great Moghul Babur decided to do so. The name of this city occupies primacy in Indian history at a later period because three famous pivotal battles of Panipat which were fought here over the two centuries between 1526 to 1756.

It was in the First Battle of Panipat, fought in AD 1526 in which invader Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi, of the Delhi Sultanate. In the Second Battle of Panipat fought in 1556, Akbar’s guardian Bairam Khan defeated the Hindu ruler Hemu. In the Third Battle of Panipat fought in 1761, Ahmad Shah Abdali, the Afghan ruler defeated the Peshwa Marathas.

Today Panipat is an industrial town and is known for its handloom products. The district headquarter is situated in Panipat town. Other smaller towns are Samalkha, Israna and Naultha which have developed in its neighborhood. The total area of Panipat district is 1,754 sq km and its population is 8,33,000.
Among historical sites in Panipat, there is the Tomb of Ibrahim Lodi: This king was defeated by Babur in 1526. His grave is a simple affair; just a rectangular block on a high platform approached by a flight of steps made of lakhori bricks. The tomb was renovated by the British in 1866.

The Kabuli Shah mosque was built by Babur after his victory over Ibrahim Lodhi. He named the mosque after his wife Kabuli Begum. Six years later when Humayun defeated Salim Shah, he got a platform called Chabutara Fateh Mubarak made around the mosque. The mosque has chambers on two sides and an inscription in Persian runs along the parapet.
The secular nature of the city is exemplified in its temples and mosques. There are Jain temples in Holi mohalla and a shrine to the Muslim saint Abu Ali Kalandar. A fort rises up away from Panipat to its highest point, still guarding the city from invaders. A large park commemorates the famous Urdu poet & critic Altaaf Hussein Haali who was born in this city in 1837.

Hemu’s Samadhi Sthal is another place of historical significance. Though he was beheaded and his head was sent off to Kabul and his torso hung in outside Purana Quila in Delhi, Hemu’s supporters erected this memorial tomb later on to commemorate his death.

Panipat War – Battle of Panipat

noreply@blogger.com (PANIPAT HARYANA) — Fri, 9 Sep 2011 21:52:00 -0700

A mention of the word Panipat to any Indian at once evokes a sense of nationalism, and conjures visions of fierce battle, warfare, skirmishes and a desire to occupy a pre-eminent position in the Indian sub continent i.e. South Asia.

Panipat war – battle of Panipat is an important chapter in the history textbooks of all Indian school students. The history of Panipat consists of three major battles fought in the region within two centuries. It is a period when North Indian military history was more intricately involved with that of Central Asia, more closely with Afghanistan. Each of the battles held at Panipat led to a turning point in Indian history and hence, their importance in Indian history is reiterated time and again.

The First battle of Panipat was in the year 1526 which saw the emergence of the Great Moghuls; it was a battle in which gunpowder in firearms and field artillery was tested. It was a Battle between two sub continental mega powers-the Delhi Sultanate of Ibrahim Lodi and Babur, the Ruler of Kabul. In this battle the Lodhi’s outmoded force of 40,000 men and 400 elephants were no match to a trim swift artillery force of about 8000 men of Babur’s which was well strategized with leadership skills and far better maneuverability in field. Ibrahim Lodhi was killed in battle and thereafter Babur established the rule of the Moghuls in India which in the next 30 yrs spread over Kabul, Kandahar, Delhi and Punjab.

The Second battle of Panipat was in the year 1556 which was fought between the Pusthun ruler of the Suri dynasty, Md. Adil Shah and the Moghul ruler Akbar who was in the first year of his rule. The former was assisted by the ruler of Chunar, Samrat HemChandra Vikramaditya, known as “Hemu” who acted as the military chief in the Battle. He took over Delhi & Agra. However, the Moghuls had a matching leader and Chief Minister assisting Akbar, by the name of Bairam Shah. He gathered a large army and retook Delhi having killed Hemu in Battle. This battle exemplified how matching leadership skills made the difference between winning and losing a war.

The Third Battle of Panipat in the year 1761 was fought between the Afghans and the Marathas. It was at a time when the Peshwa Rule of the Marathas replaced the decline of the Moghul Rule and covered the whole of north India. Afghan ambitions to occupy the northern regions of India was once again fostered by the unpopularity of the Peshwas. The Aghan ruler Ahmed Shah Abdali employed new warfare strategies placing himself at the centre of his moving forces so that he could oversee the flanks on all sides. They were swift and tough with men and materials drawn from the difficult Pashtu & Rohilla terrains of the North West India. They defeated the Marathas after a protracted fight over two months. The battle is considered one of the largest fought in the 18^th century.

The Battles of Panipat were fought to establish hegemony over the fertile plains of North India. The invaders brought in newer warfare techniques, co-ordination and leadership qualities; they exposed obsolescence in the native forces which indeed was a lesson for the native rulers.
