It is an interesting study to explore linkages between Central and South Asia in historical perspective. This piece of research digs out the impact of increased linkages on the people of the two regions. Central and South Asian Regions have geographical, ethnic, historical and cultural connections. Natural and human geography played a significant role in the transfer of ideas and goods between the Central and South Asia. From time immemorial important personalities and crucial events have affected these linkages. Maurya, Kushan, Greek, Hindushahi, Mongol, Timurid and Mughul dynasties influenced the developments in Central Asia and South Asia. Zahiruddin Mohammad Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi of the Indian Lodhi dynasty in the battle of Panipat in 1526 and founded Mughal Empire and influenced to a great extent the war technology in the subcontinent. Babur is credited with introducing cannons in warfare when he invaded India. During the 1st Battle of Panipat, he has about fifteen thousand soldiers and many cannons. Ibrahim Lodi the Sultan of Delhi on the other hand had about forty thousand troops and hundred war elephants.
