The Battle of Khanwa in 1527 was fought between

The Battle of Khanwa was fought on March 16, 1527, between the first Mughal Emperor, Babur, and the Rajput confederacy led by Rana Sanga (Rana Sangram Singh) of Mewar [t2][t4]. Following his victory over Ibrahim Lodi at Panipat in 1526, Babur faced a significant challenge from Rana Sanga, who had consolidated power over Rajasthan and Malwa [c1][t1]. The battle took place at Khanwa, near Agra and Fatehpur Sikri [c1][t9]. Rana Sanga's forces were bolstered by Afghan allies, including Mahmud Lodi (brother of Ibrahim Lodi) and Hasan Khan Mewati, who sought to displace the Mughals [c1]. Despite the formidable opposition, Babur's superior artillery and tactical discipline secured a decisive victory [t3][t4]. This triumph effectively neutralized the Rajput threat and solidified Mughal rule in North India, completing the foundation laid at Panipat [t4][t6].
