On 16 March 1527 was a very interesting battle in Indian history. Battle of Khanwa (Rajasthan), between Rana Sanga and Babur.
Babur won but it was quite close. Short 🧵 on the campaign and battle-
In April 1526, Babur won at the 1st battle of Panipat, defeating Ibrahim Lodi and capturing Delhi and then Agra.

While these armies fought, Rana Sanga was intervening in the Gujarat sultanate in a civil war. By the time it ended, Babur had taken Delhi.

2
This triggered a race between Rana Sanga and Babur to seize the remains of the sultanate. Babur's army was at Agra, and the Rana's in Mewar. Between both was the fort of Bayana. Strategically key for campaigns in either direction. Mewar's army got there 1st.
