Background [Bidar]

1318 A.D Badarkot (Bidar) and other places were occupied by Khusrau Khan
1320 A.D Kakatiya pratap rudra reoccupied Badarkot and other places.
1322 A.D Bidar Town which was on the frontier of Telingana and Baswakalyan forts were taken by Ulugh Khan(Muhammad-Bin-Tughluq) who was then a prince. The town and fort were left incharge of trust worthy officers with strong garrison.
1336 A.D The Vijaynagara empire founded.
1341 A.D Muhammad Bin Tughluq honoured Shihab-Ud-Din of Multan with the litle Nusrat Khan and conferred on him the Government of Bidar( One of the aqlims or provinces) with its dependencies on the condition that he should pay a revenue of one Crore of rupees annually into the kings treasury.
1345 A.D As Nusrat Khan could not fulfil the condition, he was expelled. Sadah Amirs (who were revenue collectors as well as military commanders under Mohd. Tughluq) rebelled. They elected one of their members Ismail Mukh as the sultan of Deccan. As he was aged, he readily abdicated his charge in favour of Hasan Gangu.
3rd August 1347 Zafar Khan (Hasan Gangu) was crowned and assumed the title of Ala-Ud-Din Hasan Bahman Shah at Daulatabad.

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.

The printed Indian History both due to space limitations and also as it was developed by the writers of an alien regime, have de-emphasized the military victories and resistance of Hindus throughout the period when foreigners ruled some parts or large parts of India. But, the Hindu military chiefs or common people always fought back and defeated the foreign armies in many battles and reestablished the rule of natives in many parts of the country and maintained their independence for long periods of time.
