essay on expansion of bahmani kingdom
Answers
Explanation:
The Bahmani kingdom was founded in 1347 by Hasan Gang-i who revolted and proclaimed his independence from the Sultanate. He assumed the title of Ala-ud-din Bahmani (also Bahman Shah). Gulbarga was his capital. He divided his kingdom into four tarafs or provinces and placed each one under a tarafdar or governor.
He was succeeded by Muhammad Shall I (1358-1373) whose reign was chiefly occupied in waging savage wars against Vijayanagar and Warangal. Some of the other notable rulers of the dynasty were: Finiz Shah (1397- 1422) who twice defeated Vijayanagar but was ultimately defeated at Pangul; Ahmad Shah (1422- 1433) who conquered Warangal and shifted the capital to Bidar, and who was also known as Wali on account of his association with a sufi, Gesu Daraz; Humayun (1451-1461) famous for his minister, Khwaja Mahmud Gawan; Muhammad Shah III (1463-1482) whose reign saw Mahmud Gawan expand the kingdom as never before.
In his campaign against Vijayanagar in 1481 he even reached and plundered Kanchi. He overran Dahlol and Goa on the western coast. However, Gawan was a Persian by birth (or an afaqt) and hence disliked by the ‘Deccani’ (or Dakhni) chiefs who were native.
