abstract
  • On January 24, 1556, the ruler of the Mughal Empire, Humanyun, died in Delhi. He was succeeded by his son, Akbar, who, at the time was 13 years old. Humayun had left his son an Empire ruling the north of India, with their rule confined to Kabul, Kandahar, parts of Delhi and Punjab. Akbar was then on campaign in Kabul with his guardian, Bairam Khan to quell ongoing the rebellion in and around Kabul at that time. At around this time, Ali Adil Shah's vazier (or Chief Minister), Hemu was crushing the rebellion in Bengal for the Sur Empire. When word reached him of Humayun's death, Hemu seized the oppurtunity to drive out the Mughals, who had taken the cities of Delhi and Agra from the Suris. Beginning a rapid campaign, the general moved his forces from Bengal and attacked territories recently aquired by the Mughals in what is present day Uttar Pardesh, enjoying great success against his enemies. The governor of Agra, hearing of his march, fled rather than facing the oncoming forces, leaving Hem's path to Delhi open. He defeated the city's garrison on the outskirts of Delhi, and marched into the city victorious. At this point, Akbar's general Bairam Khan would order the army to march to face the vazier's forces, against the wishes of his other generals to confront him and take back the throne of Delhi., setting the stage for the Second Battle of Panipat.
