Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Akbar was thirteen years old and had been crowned emperor only the month before. Now he was faced with an Afghan army led by a Hindi general, Hemu. . . . Coming thirty years after Babur's defeat of Ibrahim Lodi, the last sultan of Delhi, it was the second pivotal Mughal victory at Panipat. . . . by his death in 1605 he had extended his empire's borders east to Bengal and south into the Deccan."
