This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Daulat Khan Lodi''' ([[Pashto]]: دولت خان لودی) was the governor of [[Lahore]] during the reign of [[Ibrahim Lodi]], the last ruler of the [[Lodi dynasty]]. Due to disaffection with Ibrahim, Daulat invited [[Babur]] to invade the empire.<ref name=":0">((Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29703420 |title=The encyclopaedia of Sikhism |date=1992–1998 |publisher=Punjabi University |others=Harbans Singh |isbn=0-8364-2883-8 |volume=1 |location=Patiala |pages=535–536 |oclc=29703420))</ref> He was initially governor of the [[Jalandhar Doab]] before being promoted with the governorship of the entire [[Punjab]].

==Aid of Babur==
In 1523, [[Ibrahim Lodi]], Daulat Khan's sovereign, was locked in a power struggle with his relatives and ministers. Daulat Khan was one of Ibrahim's chief opponents, along with the ruler's own uncle, Alam Khan (also known as Ala-ud-din), who at that time was living under the protection of [[Muzaffar Shah II|Sultan Muzaffar II]] of [[Gujarat Sultanate|Gujarat]]. There was rebellion throughout the empire. Aware of his own precarious position, Daulat Khan sent his son, [[Ghazi Khan Lodi]], to [[Delhi]] to learn more about the state of affairs in the government. On his return, Ghazi Khan warned his father that Ibrahim Lodi was planning to remove his governorship. In response, Daulat Khan sent messengers to [[Babur]] in [[Kabul]], offering his allegiance in exchange for assistance against the emperor. Babur agreed.

Babur's army quickly captured [[Lahore]] and [[Dipalpur]]. Daulat Khan and his sons, Ghazi and [[Dilawar Khan Lodi]], joined Babur at [[Dipalpur]] only to be disappointed when Babur presented Daulat with [[Jalandhar]] and [[Sultanpur Lodhi|Sultanpur]] instead of Lahore. Rather than accepting these assignments, Daulat Khan and Ghazi went into hiding while Dilawar Khan betrayed his father and accepted Sultanpur and the title of Khan Khanan.

Daulat Khan eventually emerged a short while later, when Babur left India to fight the Uzbeks at [[Balkh]] while leaving some forces in Lahore to assist Alam Khan lay siege to Delhi. Daulat offered his assistance to Alam Khan, hoping to recover Lahore. However, since he was no longer on friendly terms with Babur, Daulat Khan's assistance was declined. Instead, he was left in charge of Punjab with his son Ghazi, while his other sons, Dilawar and Hajji, went to Delhi with Alam Khan. This attack was unsuccessful due to treachery on both sides.

Babur heard of Alam Khan's failure in [[Sialkot]], on his way back to [[Hindustan|India]]. Meanwhile, Daulat Khan and Ghazi, hearing of Babur's return, fled to the fortress of [[Milwat]], to the north of Lahore. Babur laid siege to Milwat and Daulat Khan surrendered. He died on the way to [[Bhera]], where he was to have been imprisoned.

The events that Daulat Khan had started in motion by inviting Babur to India finally culminated in the [[Battle of Panipat (1526)|battle of Panipat]] in 1526, where Ibrahim Khan Lodi lost his life. Babur was now ruler of India, going on to found the [[Mughal Empire]].

== Significance in Sikhism ==
[[File:Guru Nanak in service at Daulat Khan Lodhi's stores, by Lahora Singh Mussawar, ca.1900.jpg|thumb|Guru Nanak in service at Daulat Khan Lodhi's stores, by Lahora Singh Mussawar, ca.1900]]
One of his officials, Jai Ram, was married to [[Guru Nanak]]'s sister, [[Bebe Nanaki|Nanaki]]. Jai Ram found Guru Nanak employment at Daulat Khan Lodi's store and granaries as a keeper. Complaints were often made against Nanak wasting the stocks to Daulat Khan but two audits found the store fully stocked with correct accounts. They also complained about Guru Nanak's teachings to the [[Nawab]], at one point a [[Qazi]] called upon Nanak to report to court based on these accusations where Daulat Khan defended Nanak.<ref name=":0" />
