Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1529

The correct answer is 1529.

• The Battle of Ghaghra was fought in the year 1529.
  • The Battle of Ghaghra, fought in 1529, was a major battle for the conquest of India by the Mughal Empire.
  • It followed the first Battle of Panipat in 1526 and the Battle of Khanwa in 1527.
  • The forces of now Emperor Zahir ud-Din Muhammad Babur of the emerging Mughal Empire were joined by Indian allies in the battle against the Eastern Afghan Confederates under Sultan Mahmud Lodi and Sultanate of Bengal under Sultan Nusrat Shah.

• Battle of Khatauli
  • The Battle of Khatoli was fought in 1518 between the Lodi dynasty under Ibrahim Lodi and the Kingdom of Mewar under Rana Sanga, during which Mewar emerged victoriously.
• Battle of Gagron
  • The Battle of Gagron was fought in 1519 between Sultan Mahmud Khalji II of Malwa and Rana Sanga of Mewar.
  • The conflict took place in Gagron and resulted in Sanga's victory, with him taking Mahmud captive and annexing significant territory.
• Battle of Bayana
  • The Battle of Bayana (1526) was a rare setback for Babur after his victory at Panipat on 21 April 1526.
  • Although this victory gave Babur control of Delhi and Agra, many other fortified places refused to accede to his authority.
