Treaty of Bijapur

The Treaty of Bijapur, signed in 1686, was an agreement between the Mughal Empire and the Sultanate of Bijapur aimed at maintaining peace and delineating borders. It marked a temporary halt to hostilities, clarifying territorial boundaries and ensuring stability in the region. The treaty helped both parties avoid conflict and provided a framework for future diplomacy. It was part of the Mughal efforts to consolidate control over southwestern India, balancing power with neighboring states through negotiations rather than warfare.
