Battle cries
April 21 marks the 494th anniversary of the First Battle of Panipat which took place in 1526. The battle was fought between the invading forces of Babur and the Lodhi dynasty. It took place in North India and marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire and the end of the Delhi Sultanate. This was one of the earliest battles involving gunpowder firearms and field artillery in the Indian subcontinent which were introduced by Mughals in this battle.
The battle was fought near the small village of Panipat, in the present day state of Haryana, an area that has been the site of a number of decisive battles for the control of Northern India since the twelfth century.
Below is one of the many paintings depicting a scene at the battle. The painting on the right, however, has six things that are different from the image on the left. Can you spot them all?
