In early 14th century, the Delhi Sultanate set out on an ambitious plan to capture vast areas of the Deccan and South India. They conquered most of the Indian subcontinent by 1327 CE under the leadership of Muhammad bin Tughlaq. However, to rule over and defend such a vast territory proved to be challenging and by the 1330s, they had lost control over the Deccan. This along with the wipeout of the old local kingdoms created a power vacuum and paved the way for local chieftains to assert themselves.
