The '''Mughal conquest of Malwa''' was a military campaign launched by the [[Mughal Empire]] in 1560 during the reign of [[Akbar]] (r. 1556–1605) against the [[Sultanate of Malwa]], which had broken free from Mughal rule during the rebellion of [[Sher Shah Suri]] from the emperor [[Humayun]]. Thus, Akbar had a claim to the province. [[Baz Bahadur]] had been the governor of Malwa in the [[Sur Empire]] but broke away after the death of Sher Shah.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Chandra |first1=Satish |title=Medieval India: From Sultanat To The Mughals-Mughal Empire (1526-1748) - Part II |date=2007 |pages=103–104}}</ref>

The conquest was led by Akbar's foster brother [[Adham Khan]] and the general [[Pir Muhammad Khan]]. They defeated Baz Bahadur at the Battle of Sarangpur in 1561, when his Afghan forces deserted him. The Mughals occupied the capital [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]], perpetrating massacres on the populace, according to the historian [[Badauni]], and appropriating the wealth and harem of the Sultan. Akbar himself intervened, riding to Malwa and removing Adham Khan from governorship of the province, seizing his spoils. He sent Pir Muhammad Khan south to give chase to Baz Bahadur. Adham Khan is said to have desired the Sultan of Malwa's wife [[Roopmati]], who committed suicide by consuming poison rather than be taken by the Mughal military commander.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Agrawal |first1=Ashvini |title=Motilal Banarsidass|date=1983 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass |isbn=8120823265 |page=75}}</ref>

After the conquest, Baz Bahadur fled Malwa to [[Khandesh]], and was there pursued by Mughal military commander Pir Muhammad Khan who occupied [[Burhanpur]], the capital of the area. However, Khan was defeated and killed by a coalition of Baz Bahadur, [[Farooqi dynasty|Khandesh Sultanate]], and [[Berar Sultanate]], leading to Baz Bahadur regaining Malwa for a brief period in 1562 before renewed Mughal attacks.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=King |first1=L.
