Conflict with Vijayanagara

In 1422 AD, Ahmad Shah I ascended the throne with the help of Devraj and Hussain Basri. [3] He was crowned with full sovereignty-the Bahmani Sultanate rose against the Kingdom of Vijayanagara. Ahmad Shah's life was saved during this battle by Indrasen. [2] [4] [5]

The Konkan Expedition

In the year 1437 AD, a Bahmani expedition was sent toward the Konkan, where Ugrasen and his brother Pratap Singh took part in the campaign and helped subdue the area. [3] Next, Ugrasen and Pratap Singh participated in the capture of Rohankhed, under the command of Khalif Hussain Basari, who was also involved in plundering the treasury of Khandesh. [4]

In 1446 AD, during another campaign in the Konkan, Khalif Hussain Basari was killed and Ugrasen taken captive, though he was released later. [4]
