Lodhi Dynasty

Buhlul lodi estabished the Lodhi Dynasty and he ruled from 1451-1526. He was
previously the governor of sarhind (in punjab), under the sultan of Delhi Alauddin Alam, of
the Saiyid Dynasty (1414-1451). Due to the weak position of the Saiyid Dynasty, Buhlul
Lodhi took advantage, he first occupied the province of Punjab and later on, captured Delhi
and became the Sultan of Delhi on April 19, 1451 under the title of Sultan Abul Muzzaffar
Buhlul Shah Ghazi.

During his rule though there were numerous attempts to destabilize the empire,
Buhlul managed to stand by the Lodhis. He captured a number of nearby states. This was the
only Afghan Dynasty to rule over the Delhi Sultanate, with the exception of Sher Shan Suri.
Buhlul Khan seized the throne and managed the kingdom without much resistance from the
then ruler, Alam Shah Buhlul Khans territory was spread acros Jaunpur, Gwalior & Uttar
Pradesh. In 1486, he appointed his eldest son Barbak Shah as the Viceroy of Jaunpur.

Sikandar Lodi

Due to the death of Buhlul Lodhi in July 1489, his son Nizam Khan Succeeded him,
under the title Sikandar Shah. He turned out to be the most capable ruler of the Lodhi
Dynasty Sikandar Shah established a fair system of administration & founded the historical
city of Agra. His empire extended from Punjab to Bihar and he also signed a treaty with the
ruler of Bengal, Alauddin Hussain Shah Sikandar Shah was the one who founded a new town
where the modem day Agra stands and was known to be a kind and generous ruler who cared
for his subjects.

Ibrahim Lodhi

Sikandar’s death emerged the fight for succession between his sons, which resulted in
the decline of rule of the Lodhi Dynasty Ibrahim Lodhi, son of Sikander, was the last Sultan
of the Lodhi Dynasty Zahiruddin Babur, the Mughal ruler from Central Asia, attacked India
and defeated Ibrahim in the first battle od panipat on April 21, 1526.

As the time came for Ibrahim to ascend the throne of Lodhi Dynasty, the political
structure in the Dynasty had Dissolved due to abandonedtrade routes and depleted the
treasury.

The Deccan was a coastal trade route, but in the late 15th century the supply lines
collapsed. The decline and failure of specific trade route resulted in cutting off supplies from
the coast to the interior, where the Lodi Empire resided. The Dynasty was not in a position ti
protect ifself from the warfare if it would break out on the trade route roads therefore, the
trade routes where nit utilised and thus their trade declined, so further did their treasury
leaving them vulnerable to internal political problems.

One more problem Ibrahim had when trying to ascend the throne as the next Lodi
emperor was due to the Afghan chiefs. The chiefs did not like Sultan Ibrahim, so they divided
the Lodi Empire and gave Ibrahim’s older brother, Jalaluddin the area in the west, Delhi.
Despite this situasion, Sultan Ibrahim being the military man, he gathered enough military
support and killed his brother and reunited the kingdom by the end of same year in 1517.

Later Ibrahim Lodhi arrested Afghan nobles who opposed him. The Afghan nobles
were loyal to the governor of Bihar, Dariya Khan as they wanted him to rule Delhi, not
Sultan Ibrahim.

People who tried to take over the Lodi throne were extremely common during Sultan
Ibrahim’s time. Due to the lack of the law of succession, Ibrahim was forced to put down a
great group of these ambitious men. Ibrahim Lodhis’ own uncle, Alam Khan, working off his
own ambitions, betrayed Ibrahim because he wanted to rule Delhi. Alam Khan decided to
place his loyalty to the Mughal emperor, Babur.

The defeat of Ibrahim ended the Lodhi Dynasty and marked the beggining of Mughal
rule in India. Due to the demands of the nobles, Ibrahim Lodhi’s younger brother Jalal Khan
was given a small share of the kingdom and was crowned the king of Jaunpur. Later,
Ibrahim’s men assassinated him soon and the kingdom came back to Ibrahim Lodhi. He was
known to be a very stern ruler and was not liked much by his subjects. To take revenge of the
insults done by Ibrahim, the governor of Lahore Daulat Khan Lodhi asked the ruler of Kabul,
Babur to invade the kingdom. He was defeated in a battle with Babur founded the Mughal
dynasty in India. The death of ibrahim Lodhi, made the end of Lodhi dynasty.

 Dinasti Lodhi

B
uhlul lodi menetapkan Dinasti Lodhi dan ia memerintah dari tahun 1451-
1526. Dia sebelumnya adalah gubernur sarhind (dalam punjab), di bawah
sultan Delhi Alauddin Alam, dari Dinasti Saiyid (1414-1451). Karena
posisi lemah dari Dinasti Saiyid, Buhlul Lodhi mengambil keuntungan, ia pertama kali
menduduki provinsi Punjab dan kemudian, merebut Delhi dan menjadi Sultan Delhi pada 19
April 1451 dengan gelar Sultan Abul Muzzaffar Buhlul Shah Ghazi.

Selama pemerintahannya meskipun ada banyak upaya untuk mengacaukan

kekaisaran, Buhlul berhasil berdiri di sisi Lodhis. Dia menangkap sejumlah negara di
dekatnya. Ini adalah satu-satunya Dinasti Afghan yang memerintah Kesultanan Delhi, dengan
pengecualian Sher Shan Suri. Buhlul Khan merebut tahta dan mengelola kerajaan tanpa
banyak perlawanan dari penguasa saat itu, Alam Shah Buhlul Khans wilayah tersebar acros
Jaunpur, Gwalior & Uttar Pradesh. Pada 1486, ia menunjuk putra sulungnya, Barbak Shah,
sebagai Raja Muda Jaunpur.

Sikandar Lodi

Karena kematian Buhlul Lodhi pada bulan Juli 1489, putranya, Nizam Khan, berhasil,
dengan gelar Sikandar Shah. Dia ternyata menjadi penguasa paling cakap dari Dinasti Lodhi
Sikandar Shah mendirikan sistem administrasi yang adil & mendirikan kota bersejarah Agra.
Kerajaannya diperpanjang dari Punjab ke Bihar dan dia juga menandatangani perjanjian
dengan penguasa Bengal, Alauddin Hussain Shah Sikandar Shah adalah orang yang
mendirikan sebuah kota baru di mana hari modern Agra berdiri dan dikenal sebagai penguasa
yang baik dan murah hati yang peduli untuk rakyatnya.

Ibrahim Lodhi

Kematian Sikandar muncul perjuangan untuk suksesi antara anak-anaknya, yang

mengakibatkan penurunan kekuasaan Lodhi Dynasty Ibrahim Lodhi, putra Sikander, adalah
Sultan terakhir dari Dinasti Lodhi Zahiruddin Babur, penguasa Mughal dari Asia Tengah,
menyerang India dan mengalahkan Ibrahim di pertempuran pertama od panipat pada 21 April
1526.

Ketika tiba waktunya bagi Ibrahim untuk naik takhta Dinasti Lodhi, struktur politik di
Dinasti telah Dissolved karena rute yang terbengkalai dan menguras perbendaharaan.
 Deccan adalah rute perdagangan pantai, tetapi pada akhir abad ke 15 jalur pasokan
runtuh. Penurunan dan kegagalan rute perdagangan tertentu mengakibatkan pemutusan
pasokan dari pantai ke pedalaman, tempat Kekaisaran Lodi tinggal. Dinasti tidak dalam posisi
untuk melindungi diri dari peperangan jika itu akan pecah di jalur perdagangan jalan karena
itu, rute perdagangan di mana nit dimanfaatkan dan dengan demikian perdagangan mereka
menurun, sehingga lebih jauh perbendaharaan mereka membuat mereka rentan terhadap
masalah politik internal.

Satu lagi masalah yang dihadapi Ibrahim ketika mencoba naik tahta karena kaisar
Lodi berikutnya adalah karena para pemimpin Afghanistan. Para pemimpin tidak menyukai
Sultan Ibrahim, jadi mereka membagi Kekaisaran Lodi dan memberi kakak laki-laki Ibrahim,
Jalaluddin daerah di barat, Delhi. Meskipun situasi ini, Sultan Ibrahim menjadi manusia
militer, ia mengumpulkan dukungan militer yang cukup dan membunuh saudaranya dan
bersatu kembali kerajaan pada akhir tahun yang sama pada 1517.

Kemudian Ibrahim Lodhi menangkap bangsawan Afghanistan yang menentangnya.

Para bangsawan Afghanistan setia kepada gubernur Bihar, Dariya Khan karena mereka ingin
dia memerintah Delhi, bukan Sultan Ibrahim.

Orang-orang yang mencoba mengambil alih tahta Lodi sangat umum selama masa
Sultan Ibrahim. Karena tidak adanya hukum suksesi, Ibrahim dipaksa untuk meletakkan
sekelompok besar orang-orang ambisius ini. Paman Ibrahim Lodhis, Alam Khan, yang
bekerja atas ambisinya sendiri, mengkhianati Ibrahim karena ia ingin memerintah Delhi.
Alam Khan memutuskan untuk menempatkan kesetiaannya kepada kaisar Mughal, Babur.

Kekalahan Ibrahim mengakhiri Dinasti Lodhi dan menandai dimulainya pemerintahan

Mughal di India. Karena tuntutan para bangsawan, saudara muda Ibrahim Lodhi, Jalal Khan,
diberi bagian kecil dari kerajaan dan dinobatkan sebagai raja Jaunpur. Kemudian, orang-
orang Ibrahim segera membunuhnya dan kerajaan kembali ke Ibrahim Lodhi. Dia dikenal
sebagai penguasa yang sangat keras dan tidak disukai banyak oleh rakyatnya. Untuk
membalas dendam atas penghinaan yang dilakukan oleh Ibrahim, gubernur Lahore Daulat
Khan Lodhi meminta penguasa Kabul, Babur untuk menyerang kerajaan. Dia dikalahkan
dalam pertempuran dengan Babur mendirikan dinasti Mughal di India. Kematian ibrahim
Lodhi, membuat berakhirnya dinasti Lodhi.

Lodi Gardens adalah sebuah taman di Delhi yang tersebar lebih dari 90 hektar -
memiliki makam Mohammed Shah, karya arsitektur kubur Sikander Lodi abad ke-15 yang
menguasai sebagian besar India Utara selama abad ke-16 dan situs ini sekarang dilindungi
oleh Archeological Survey of India (ASI) ). Taman-taman terletak antara Khan Market dan
safdarjung's Tomb di lodi Road. Ini indah dan Serene dan merupakan hotspot untuk jalan-
jalan pagi untuk orang Delhi.
