Bahmanî

The sultanate of Bahmanî was a state Musulman located in the Dekkan in India of the South.

The sultanate is founded in 1347 by the governor of Afghan origin Alâ ud-DIN Bahman which revolted against its suzerain the sultan of Delhi, Muhammad bin-Tughlûq. Having succeeded in releasing itself from the influence of the sultans, it establishes a state independent with Gulbargâ out of the southernmost provinces of the sultanate of Delhi. The capital of Bahmanî is Ahsanâbâd - sometimes noted Hasanâbâd, today the town of Gulbargâ - between 1347 and approximately 1425, then it is moved in Muhammadâbâd, today Bîdar, the power of the decreasing sultanate as from this period. Bahmanî dispute the control of Dekkan with the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanâgara located on their southern border.

After 1518 that the sultanate is dismembered in five states, Ahmadnâgar, Bîjâpur, Bîdâr, Berâr and Golkonda, known collectively like Sultanats of Dekkan, which is made a ceaseless war, which will facilitate their integration spread out within the Empire moghol.
