1521 in India
In 1521, a pivotal year in Indian history, significant events marked the socio-political landscape of the subcontinent. The Mughal Empire, under the leadership of Babur, was consolidating its hold after the decisive victory at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526, although the broader ramifications of his rule were still to unfold. The Deccan region witnessed the rise of regional powers such as the Vijayanagara Empire, which was flourishing as a center of trade and culture. Meanwhile, the Portuguese continued to expand their influence along the western coast, establishing footholds that would shape maritime trade routes. This period also saw the beginnings of European colonial interests in India, setting the stage for future confrontations and alliances.
