Description
In 1451, reigning Sayyid sultan, Ala ud-Din Alam Shah freely abdicated his throne in favor of Bahlul Lodi. Bahlul was an Afghan noble and used the support of the other Afghans to help him ensure a rather smooth transition of power. The downside for Bahlul was that the Afghan theory of Kingship, viewed the King as merely one member of the collective ruling body of the nation. In return for their support, Bahlul was expected to appoint his supporters to important posts, necessarily entailing a curbing of his powers.Actions

Description
At the start of his reign Sikandar Lodi had a decision to make. During the reign of his father, Bahlul, the supporting base of Afghan nobles, who had helped Bahlul to take the throne, had been alienated. Under the Afghani theory of Kingship, the Sultan was no more that a slightly elevated member of the nobles in a collectively ran government. Bahlul had altered the dynamic by attempting to wean the nobles out of governmental affairs. The natural reaction of the nobles had been to refuse to assist him in times of war and an ever present danger of open rebellion. Sikandar Lodi, while a religious fanatic, was quite concerned with building up the infrastructure of his empire. Opposing the nobles would have made such reforms impossible.Actions

Description
On the death of Sikandar Lodi, the nobles of Delhi saw a chance to increase their power by fostering a rivalry between Princes Ibrahim and Jalal. At the suggestion of the nobles presiding at court, Delhi was divided into two Kingdoms, that of Ibrahim in Delhi and Jalal in the east, with his capital at Jaunpur. Only a few days after Jalal had departed for Jaunpur, a group of previously absent nobles arrived at the court. They denounced the partition and quickly convinced Ibrahim to revoke the agreement. In response to the demise of his practically non-existent independence, Jalal declared war on his brother.Actions

Description
The policies of Sikandar Lodi created a situation whereby the nobles were held great power. The Sultan, whenever he wanted to enact any change in policy had to first court the opinion of influential aristocrats, as they held powerful sway over the Kingdom. During the reign of Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan's power had been so undermined that the powerful factions often acted as independent parts of the realm. The nobles then pushed for official recognition of their semi-indepedent status, which would enshrine their rights to greater control over their holdings. Ibrahim was not fan of such subversion of the Sultan's authority, but to do otherwise would result in a civil war.Actions
A. Recognize their independent holdings

- Grant independence to Punjab

Description
Ibrahim Lodi's firmhanded reign was none too popular amongst the nobles of Delhi. The nobles wanted to be considered equals in a sort of tribal confederacy and thus grew exasperated with the single-headed monarchy that Ibrahim promoted. As a consequence, they were always plotting against him and would turn traitorous whenever an opportunity was at hand. Often the nobles allied with foreign powers against him.Actions

Description
In 1524, Sultan Ibrahim requested Daulat Khan, governor of Punjab, to send troops to help the Sultan deal with rebels in the eastern provinces. Daulat, like other nobles, feared treachery on the part of the Sultan and instead sent his son as an emissary. The cold reception of his son caused Daulat Khan to fear reprisal from the angry Sultan. He invited Babur, a Timurid prince of Kabul, to help him in out in his struggles against the Sultan. With his resources devoted to the east, Ibrahim could do nothing as Babur established himself in Lahore. The tiger was on the approach to Delhi.Actions
