Timeline (Samrat)

The timeline starts at 1556, at the pivotal Battle of Panipat. It is mostly brief and is meant to give a more generalised outlook on how the world evolves after the PoD.

1550s

 * 1556 - is won by the Hindustani Army, ending any real chance of a Muslim Revival in north India. Ivan the Terrible conquers Astrakhan, opening up the Volga to Russian traffic and trade. The first printing press is introduced in India, with great interest taken by Hemu as a method to tell people about his great conquests and the revival of Hindu culture in Hindustan.
 * 1557 - Due to their war with France, Spain goes effectively bankrupt. Hemu plans his campaigns to effectively destroy all Mughal resistance and establish the Hindustani Raj.
 * 1557-1559 - Hemu continues his campaign to crush the Mughals as well as crush other remaining Muslim kingdoms. The Mughals, having lost their leader, are leaderless and fall by year's end, 1559. Smaller Muslim kingdoms don't fare any better.

1560s

 * HR_1570.png-61 - The campaigns finally cease against the Mughals. A new flag is decided on, an alternate to the Mughal flag but with "Hindu" colours . Hemu then orders his army to go round consolidating his power in his conquered territories.
 * 1565 - is won by the Vijaynagar Empire. The Vigaynagar Empire is saved from crushing and the army's weaponry is updated to launch a counter-offensive into Sultanate territories.
 * 1566 - The campaign into the Deccan commences, with the aim of wiping them out and establishing a Hindu control over central and south India.
 * 1567-1569 - The campaign against the Deccans continues in full speed. Through many small battles and skirmishes, more and more territory is gained. Vijaynagar soon gains all of its territories it had lost to the muslims.
