Bijapur: Difference between revisions

Bijapur first came under the influence of [[Alauddin Khalji]], the [[Delhi Sultanate|Sultan of Delhi]], towards the end of the 13th century, and then under the [[Bahmani Sultanate|BahamaniBahmani]] kings of Bidar in 1347. In 1347, when the Bahamani dynasty was established, it included southern and eastern parts of Bijapur district. The supremacy of the Bahaman's may be said to have ceased by 1489. At that time five Shahi Dynasties were born and one of them was "Bijapur". The Mughal emperor [[Aurangazeb]] conquered Bijapur in 1686 and it was under Mughal rule up to 1723. In 1724 the [[Nizam]] of [[Hyderabad State]] established his independence in the Deccan and included Bijapur within his dominion. However, his acquisition on this portion was of brief duration, in 1760 it went into the hands of Marathas.
