It was from there that the city saw the rise of what is known as the ‘Delhi Sultanate’. The powerful Sultanate lasted for over two and a half centuries covering five dynasties. These dynasties are the Slave dynasty, the Khilji dynasty, the Tughlaq dynasty, the Sayyid dynasty and the Lodi dynasty.
And you’ve heard of the famous Battle of Panipat right? Yes! The battle where Babur defeated the last of the Delhi Sultans, Ibrahim Shah Lodi in 1526. It marked the end of the Delhi Sultanate rule and the beginning of the mighty Mughal dynasty.
