Q. Who among the following was the first to make use of artillery in warfare in medieval India?
Answer: Babur
Notes: Babur used artillery in the first Battle of Panipat (1526) with commanders Ustad Ali and Mustafa. His tactics, including cannons and matchlock guns, shifted Indian warfare and influenced rulers like Akbar. The Mughal artillery tradition continued with the Marathas, Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan, and Maharaja Ranjit Singh, later adopted by the East India Company.
