For more than five centuries, Delhi has been the silent observer of a myriad of political upheavals. It was once under the rule of the Mughals, who succeeded the Khiljis and Tughlaqs.
In 1192, the armies of Muhammad of Ghori, the Afghan warrior, overtook the Rajput city, thereby giving rise to the Delhi Sultanate in 1206. However, Timur’s invasion of Delhi in 1398 brought an end to the sultanate. The final sultans of Delhi, the Lodis, were dethroned by Babur, who after winning the battle of Panipat in 1526, set up the Mughal Empire. Despite the initial preference of the Mughal sovereigns for Agra as their capital, Delhi became their definitive seat of power after the construction of the Old Delhi walls by Shah Jahan in 1638.
