Sirhind is a country in northern India. It borders Delhi, Jangladesh, Multan, Kashmir, Kangra, and Sirmur. Sirhind is a vassal of Delhi, and both have cores on each other's provinces. Sirhind follows the Hanafi school.

Within a few months after starting the game, "The Rise of Bahlûl" event will allow it to break free and declare a Reconquest war on Delhi. Sirhind starts with a powerful ruler, Bahlûl Lodi, with 4/5/6 stats and the Strict, Conqueror, and Industrious traits. He is also a powerful 3-star general giving Sirhind a major edge in its initial wars. After gaining independence, Sirhind can reform the Delhi Sultanate. Its geographical location also makes it in a prime position to convert to Sikhism and forming the nation of Punjab.

Decision[edit]

Sultan of Delhi

Delhi was once the capital of the entire Indian subcontinent and our own state is in many ways a continuation of their traditions.
Let us reclaim the heritage of the sultans of Delhi, and rule the subcontinent from their ancient capital in the Doab.

Effects If Delhi (522) is part of the HRE, but the country is not a member then: the province is removed from the HRE. the Holy Roman Emperor: gets the opinion modifier “Removed provinces from the Empire” towards the country, worth −50 opinion with a yearly decay of 1. loses 1 imperial authority. Delhi (522): will no longer be under the control of an estate. becomes the capital of the country. The country: changes to Delhi. gains permanent claims on all provinces of the areas Upper Doab, Lower Doab, Oudh, Katehar, Sirhind, Lahore and Sind Sagar that it does not own. receives new missions. changes primary culture to Hindavi. gets the modifier “Increased Centralization” for 20 years with the following effects: −0.05 monthly autonomy change, +1 national unrest.

The Rise of Bahlul Lodi

Ever since the sack of its capital in 1398 the Delhi Sultanate has been in a constant state of decay. Within short time the sultanates of Bengal, Gujarat, Malwa and even Jaunpur were proclaimed independent by former governors, while our own Sayyid dynasty took the opportunity to seize power over the city itself. Since however we have been unable to consolidate the fracturing sultanate and our direct influence does not extend far from the city walls of Delhi itself.

The Lodi family in Sirhind has been our last great supporter. With influence over most of the Afghan nobles in our kingdom they have been able to bring order to the few lands that still remain loyal. In return our predecessors have granted them what influence and power they could. However, with the rise of Bahlul Lodi as the head of the family, Delhi is once again at risk. Word has reached us that Bahlul is planning to march on Delhi, to impose his will on the Sultan and possibly end the Sayyid dynasty.

This event happens only once during a campaign.

The Rise of Bahlul Lodi

As governor of the Punjab, and as one of the last remaining supporters of the Sayyid Sultans of Delhi, Bahlul Lodi is one of the most influential landholders in Northern India. He has also emerged as the informal leader of most of the Afghan nobles within the sultanate and many consider Bahlul Lodi more powerful than the Sultan of Delhi.

It is therefore no wonder that Bahlul Lodi has watched the incompetence of the Delhi Sultans with disgust.
