· Battle of Panipat : Fought in 1526 against Ibrahim Lodi, it marked Babur’s entry into India but did not result in him assuming the title of Ghazi.
· Battle of Kabul : Babur controlled Kabul long before entering India, and it was not significant in terms of assuming the title of Ghazi.
· Battle of Ghaghra : This battle took place in 1529 after Khanwa, consolidating Mughal control further but not related to Babur taking the title of Ghazi.
