He was an ethnic [[Pashtun]]. He became sultan in 1517 after Sikandar Lodi died.&lt;ref name=Chaurasia88&gt;Radhey Shyam Chaurasia, &#039;&#039;History of Medieval India: From 1000 A.D. to 1707 A.D.&#039;&#039; (New Delhi: Atlantic, 2002), p. 88&lt;/ref&gt; Sikandar was his [[father]] and Ibrahim was soon challenged by his younger [[brother]], Jalal Kahn.&lt;ref name=AgnihotriB-96&gt;&#039;&#039;Indian History&#039;&#039;, 26th Edition, ed.

The Mewar ruler Rana Sangram Singh extended his [[empire]] right up to western Uttar Pradesh and threatened to attack Agra. There was rebellion in the [[East]] also. Ibrahim Lodi also displeased the [[nobility]] when he replaced old and senior commanders by younger ones who were loyal to him. He further alienated them by throwing some of the older [[noblemen]] in [[prison]].&lt;ref name=AgnihotriB-96/&gt; His [[Afghan]] nobility eventually invited [[Babur]] to invade [[India]]. In 1526, the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] forces of Babur, the king of [[Kabulistan]], defeated Ibrahim&#039;s much larger army in the [[Battle of Panipat|1st Battle of Panipat]].&lt;ref name=Spuler261.2&gt;Bertold Spuler; Hans Joachim Kissling, &#039;&#039;The Last Great Muslim Empires&#039;&#039; (Leiden: Brill, 1969), pp. 261–262&lt;/ref&gt; Ibrahim was killed during the battle.&lt;ref name=Spuler261.2/&gt; It is estimated that Babur&#039;s forces numbered around 12,000 men.&lt;ref name=Spuler261.2/&gt; His [[army]] had between 20 to 24 pieces of [[Artillery#Field artillery|field artillery]]. Ibrahim Lodi had around 30,000-40,000 men along with at least 100 war [[elephant]]s. After Ibrahim Lodi was overthrown, the mughals invaded India.&lt;ref name=Spuler261.2/&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> == References- ==<br /> {{commons}}<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Sultans]]<br /> [[Category:Indian people]]<br /> <br /> {{history-stub}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{simple-Wikipedia}}</div>
