Person
Ismail Adil Shah
Ismail Adil Shah was the second Adil Shahi sultan of Bijapur, succeeding his father Yusuf Adil Shah in 1510 and ruling until 1534. Like his father he favoured Shia Islam and Persian immigrants at court. His reign was dominated by conflict with Vijayanagara, whose king Krishnadevaraya defeated him at Raichur in 1520, and with the rival Deccan sultanates.
