Twilight of the Sultanate c14.s4.5

c14.s4.5

Sikandar Lodī was angry with Mān Singh for giving shelter to an important nobleman of the Punjab whom the Sultan had banished. The hold of the Lodīs on the Punjab was precarious. During his last days Bahlūl had to face a difficult situation there. The reason was that the Punjab was held by the Afghan relations and dependents of the Lodīs of Delhi, but they were not unconditionally loyal or obedient to the latter, and Bahlūl and Sikandar "were content with such acknowledgement of their supremacy as was indicated by occasional remittances of tribute or revenue".⁶³
