Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Babur fought the Battle of Chanderi in January 1528, not 1530. He defeated Medini Rai, the Rajput ruler of Chanderi in the Malwa region. The battle is remembered for the mass jauhar of Rajput women, and Babur records it in the Baburnama. So the pair at D is the incorrect match.

• First Battle of Panipat, 1526: Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi, ending the Lodi sultanate and opening Mughal rule in India.
• Battle of Khanwa, 1527: Babur defeated Rana Sanga of Mewar, consolidating Mughal power in north India.
• Battle of Ghaghra, 1529: Babur defeated the Afghans under Mahmud Lodi, backed by the Bengal ruler, which secured the Awadh and Bihar region.

Core concept: the chronology of early Mughal conquests and the shift from Lodi and Afghan power to Mughal dominance. For Mains, this links to how military victories were followed by consolidation through alliances and administration.

Trap: candidates often shift Chanderi to 1529 because it sits near Ghaghra in Babur's campaign sequence. Build the timeline year by year: 1526, 1527, 1528, 1529.
