Renaissance of Delhi

The Renaissance of Delhi was a period of time, in the early to mid 1500s, in which the Sultanate of Delhi became a great source of knowledge of learning in Asia. The city of Delhi grew exponentially, and the Sultanate grew to encompass much of northern India, as well as parts of southwestern Persia. The Renaissance was a result of the Lodi dynasty's trading with North African and European traders, particularly from the Mamluk Sultanate, that resulted in an influx of knowledge, medicine and books.
At the same time Delhi had its Renaissance, learning in the Empire of Ming had also skyrocketed. Delhi's Renaissance helped bring its vassals and allies, such as the sultanates of Sultanate of Bengal, the Emirate of Transoxiana, and the Malikate of Sistan, to greater technological and military advancements.
During Delhi's renaissance, the city of Delhi itself became one of the top five cities in population on Earth, near to the top two: Istanbul and Cairo. The Renaissance reached its highpoint with the ascension of Padishah Ackbar II Lodi in 1580 CE, marking the rise of a great Islamic empire.
