Formation of Bahamani Kingdom
In A.D.1347 an independent Muslim State, the Bahmani kingdom was established in south India by Alla-ud-din Hasan Gangu who revolted against the Delhi Sultanate. On 3rd August 1347, Zafar Khan (Hasan Gangu) was crowned and assumed the title of Ala-Ud-Din Hasan Bahman Shah at Daulatabad.
He waged wars to annexe the two neighbouring Hindu kingdoms, Warangal, under the Musunuri Nayakas, and Vijayanagar, which was under the Rayas. He occupied the area up to the river Tungabhadra in A.D.1358, and shifted his capital from Daulatabad to Gulbarga.
The Hindu rulers, reoccupied their some territories during the period between A.D.1358--75. Harihara Raya II of Vijayanagar conquered many areas which were under the Bahmanis during the period of Muhammad Shah II (A.D.1378-1397). The successors of Muhammad Shah II also waged wars against Rays. But they were defeated by the Vijayanagar armies. During the reign of Muhammad III (A.D.1463--82), the Bahmanis, for the first time, extended their empire from west coast to east coast, sea to sea.
Formation of Five Independent Bahamani States
By the end of the 15th century the Bahmani rule was plagued with faction fights and there came into existence the five Shahi kingdoms.
There are the Nizamshahis of Ahmadnagar, the Adilshahis of Bijapur, the Imadshahis of Berar, the Qutbshahis of Golconda and the Baridshahis of Bidar[Mahabubnagar]. Thereafter, the rule of the Bahmani dynasty came to an end in A.D.1527.
