Mughal-Rajput War (1525)

The Mughal-Rajput War was between the forces of the Timurid ruler Babur and the head of the Rajput confederacy Rana Sanga. In 1525, after the conquest of Transoxania, Babur invaded the Punjab several times. To campaign he took the time to furnish his army with gunpowder weapons and to train them in their use, meanwhile preserving the more traditional skills of steppe warfare. Not until the end of the year did he invade Hindustan.

Aftermath

Babur defeated the rajputs in many skirmishes with his army en route to face the Lodis at the Battle of Panipat (1526), where he killed Lodi and his forces seized control of Delhi.

Babur's grandson, Akbar, allied with the Rajputs in 1556.
