Betrayal of The Empire
Not only was Ibrahim threatened by his uncle, Alam Khan, who joined forces with Babur, but he was also threatened by the Rajput leader, Rana Sanga of Mewar (1509–1526). Daulat Khan, the governor of Punjab also spoke with Babur about Sultan Ibrahim. Khan pledged his allegiance to Babur as well. Sultan Ibrahim Khan Lodhi was easily threatened because his region was surrounded by several other dynasties and territories. The Khalji Dynasty was positioned to the northeast. The Rajputs were located to the northwest and the Sultanate of Gujarat blocked the sea to the east. To the south, lied the Khandesh and Berar regions. The Sultanate of Jaunpur located in modern day Uttar Pradesh also surrounded the Lodhi Dynasty.
