A random array didnt kill Hemchandra in Panipat-2 ....
.
There were structural weaknesses in Hemachandra and his army which forced Hemachandra to go all the way in front and there were some structural plus points in Mughuls which enabled Akbar and Bairam Khan from lead from backseat.
.
But that wasnt all.
.
The mugals had better cannons. And Hemchandra was in front, but not in front row. There were several rows of soldiers before him. Using cannons, the mugals could disperse/kill many in front row. So the cover of Hemachandra became thinner and he got more exposed to the front.
.
And Moghuls and uzbecks had better bows which threw arrows at a longer distance. So Hindu soldiers' arrows wont reach uzbeck hitmen while uzbeck hitmen's arrows would reach Hindu soldiers in front.
.
And even if Moghuls were defeated, then immidiately after that, Aghans would have tried to dethorne Hemchandra. So even if Hemachandra had won Panipat-2 and expelled Moghuls, the fact that Hemachandra's artillery was almost all Afghan meant that chances were high that Hemachandra would have lost second round between Afghans generals and Hemachandra .
.
So claim that "if arrow hadnt come, then history would have been different" is like butterfly effect claim.
