The First Battle of Panipat occurred in which year?

• A. 1492 AD
• B. 1576 AD
• C. 1707 AD
• D. 1526 AD

Answer: (D)

The key fact here is the year that changed the balance of power in northern India by marking the rise of the Mughal Empire. The first Battle of Panipat was fought in 1526, when Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi near Panipat. This victory, aided by newer gunpowder artillery and coordinated troops, ended Delhi Sultanate dominance in that region and established Mughal rule that would shape much of Indian history. That makes 1526 the correct year. The other dates refer to different events, not this battle.
