ruler named Gangu (hence the name Hasan Gangu)[12][13]

 Before the establishment of his kingdom, he was Governor of deccan and a commander on
[14]

behalf of Tughlaq's. On 3 August 1347 Nazir Uddin Ismail Shah who had revolted against the
Delhi Sultanate stepped down on that day in favour of Bahman Shah, a native of Delhi.[15] His
revolt was successful, and he established an independent state on the Deccan within the Delhi
Sultanate's southern provinces with its headquarters at Hasanabad (Gulbarga) and all his coins
were minted at Hasanabad.[16][17] With the support of the influential Chishti sufi sheikhs, he
crowned himself "Alauddin Bahman Shah Sultan – Founder of the Bahmani Dynasty".[18]
Alauddin was succeeded by his son Mohammed Shah I.[19]
Ghiyasuddin succeeded his father Muhammad II, but was blinded and imprisoned by a Turkish
nobleman called Taghalchin.[20] He was succeeded by Shamsuddin, who was a puppet king under
Taghalchin. Firuz and Ahmed, the sons of the fourth sultan Daud, marched to Gulbarga to
avenge Ghiyasuddin. Firuz declared himself the sultan, and defeated Taghalchin's forces.
Taghalchin was killed and Shamsuddin was blinded.[21]
Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah became the sultan in 1397.[22] Firuz Shah fought against the Vijayanagara
Empire on many occasions and the rivalry between the two dynasties continued unabated
throughout his reign, with victories in 1398 and 1406, but a defeat in 1419. One of his victories
resulted in his marriage to Deva Raya's daughter. He was succeeded by his younger
brother Ahmad Shah I Wali.
Bidar was made capital of the sultanate in 1429.[23]
The eldest sons of Humayun Shah, Nizam-Ud-Din Ahmad III and Muhammad Shah III
Lashkari ascended the throne successively, while they were young boys. The vizier Mahmud
Gawan ruled as regent during this period, until Muhammad Shah reached of age. Mahmud
Gawan is known for setting up the Mahmud Gawan Madrasa, a center of religious as well as
secular education.[11] Gawan was considered a great statesman, and a poet of repute. Mahmud
Gawan was caught in a struggle between the ruling indigenous Muslim elite of the Bahmanids,
called the Deccanis, and the foreign newcomers from the west such as Gawan.[24] He was
executed by Muhammad Shah III, an act that the latter regretted until his death in 1482.[25]

Later rulers and decline[edit]

Muhammad Shah II was succeeded by his son Mahmood Shah Bahmani II, the last Bahmani
ruler to have real power.[26]
The last Bahmani Sultans were puppet monarchs under their Barid Shahi Prime Ministers, who
were de facto rulers. After 1518 the sultanate broke up into five
states: Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar, Qutb Shahi of Golconda (Hyderabad), Barid
Shahi of Bidar, Imad Shahi of Berar, Adil Shahi of Bijapur. They are collectively known as the
"Deccan Sultanates".[27]
