Ibrahim Lodi inherited a large but unstable empire in 1517. Unlike his predecessors, he dealt harshly with nobles, dismissing some and executing others, which created widespread rebellion. Governors of Awadh, Punjab, and Bihar turned against him. Daulat Khan Lodi and Alam Khan invited Babur to invade India, hoping to replace Ibrahim. Babur defeated him in the First Battle of Panipat (1526), using superior artillery and cavalry tactics. Ibrahim’s death ended both the Lodi dynasty and the Delhi Sultanate. His fall paved the way for the Mughal Empire, which went on to transform India’s culture, administration, and political landscape.
