Quick Summary

Ahmad III was a ruler of the Bahmanī sultanate, a Muslim state in the Deccan region of India that existed from 1347 to 1518. The Bahmanī sultanate was founded by Ala al-Din Bahman Shah in rebellion against the sultan of Delhi. Ahmad III's reign saw the beginning of conflicts with northern neighbors Malwa and Gujarat, as well as ongoing wars with the Hindu rulers of Vijayanagar in the south. Internal rivalries between Deccani officers and newcomers from the Middle East also intensified during this period, contributing to the sultanate's eventual decline.12
