Question

what were the reasons for babur's victory in the first battle of panipat ?
(please write in points)​

Answer 1

1. Scientific Combination of Cavalry and Artillery:

Firstly, the victory of Babur was due to the Scientific Combination of cavalry and artillery. The effective use of mobile cavalry and the skill with which Ustad Ali and Mustafa, two great Turkish gunners, fought in the field of Panipat were also important factors which led to his victory


2. Disunity:

The Indian Rulers did not visualize any eventuality beyond the borders of their kingdoms and could not stand unitedly to face a threat on India from outside. Babur defeated them one by one, captured their kingdoms, and became their overlord.

3. Babur’s Personality:

One of the biggest cause of Babur’s victory was also his impressive personality. He did not lose heart even in most critical times. He had the capacity to infuse spirit in the dead bodies with his lively speech. He was a born general and was fully conversant with all the tactcs of war.


4. Ill-treatment of Ibrahim Lodi Towards His Amirs:

Sultan Ibrahim’s treatment towards his Amirs was most discourteous and insulting. Hence the Amirs went against him.

5. Disciplined Army:

Babur’s Army was better disciplined than the Indian Army. His soldiers knew how to stand in battle arrary and when to charge and when to retreat. On the other hand the Indian Soldiers moved more or less like a crowd and a little charge from the enemy side was enough to cause confusion among them. Their vast numbers were more a source of weakness than a source of strength. They were ill-organised, ill- trained and ill-disciplined.


6. Inefficiency of Ibrahim as a General :

Fortunately for Babur, the revival he had to ontend with was an inefficient Military General, who lacked the qualities of Generalship. Neither could he properly organize his forces nor could he plan the battle well. It was not difficult for a brilliant general like Babur to defeat such an inefficient rival.

7. Use of Elephants by the Lodhis:

Ibrahim Lodhi made a big use of elephants in his army. As compared to this, horses of Mughal Cavalry were more active. Very often elephants wounded in battle used to run back trampling their own armymen under their feet.


8. Babur’s Formations or Tlilugama:

Babur took strategic positions as soon a he reached Panipat. He strengthened his position by resting one wing of his army in the city of Panipat which had a large number of houses, and protected the other by means of ditch filled with branches of trees. In front, he lashed together a large number of carts, to act as a defending wall. Between two carts, breastworks were erected on which soldiers could rest their guns and fire.
