PUNJAB HISTORY - TRIPARTITE STRUGGLE OF 16TH CENTURY AND MUGHAL RULE ESTABLISHED

In 16th century start punjab was ruled by the LODIS. Sikander Lodhi ruled from 1500-1517. He was a monarch but was a simple and benevolent ruler. He showed intolerance towards religion and destroyed the temples of hindus.

Ibrahim lodhi ruled from 1517- 1526. He was unpopular and tactless ruler. So he was a failure in keeping a check on his nobles.

Punjab was split into subas ( Provinces ) - Lahore, Multan, Dialpur, Sirhind and Sultanpur.

Tatar khan was appointed as the governor of punjab by sikander lodhi. After the death of tatar khan, his son became the governor of punjab. During the reign of ibrahim lodhi, daulat khan conspired to carve out punjab independent of lodhis rule.

The persons responsile for the struggle were Babur, Daulat khan and Alam khan( Anwaruddin Lodhi, ibrahims uncle and afgan noble ).
