Commanders always look for a way to get an advantage and so they choose the best possible location for the battles. And as such locations usually have a suitable terrain or are in the vicinity of the economic or political center, historically decisive battles had a tendency to happen in the same places over and over. We know about half-dozen battles of Thermopylae and Kosovo, and so many other geographical locations had multiple battles. For India it is the city of Panipat, just under 100 kilometers away from the capital Delhi. Three crucial fights happened here and they decided the fate of the entire subcontinent for centuries. In this documentary we are covering two of these battles that happened in 1526 and 1556. The Mughal Empire led by Babur and Akbar had to fight against the Delhi Sultanate of Ibrahim Lodi and the armies of the Sur Empire under the command of Hemu at Panipat to prove its dominance. Let's see how these events unfolded.
