Painting of Mughal Shahenshah Babar 

Truly said by someone

"History is always written by the vectors"

MUGHAL!!!!!!!!As the name only signifies and symbolise enormous and greatness.

Starting from the first sovereign of mighty Mughal dynasty "zahir uddin Muhammad Babar"

• Born- 14 February 1483
• Place of birth- Andijan Feghana valley (Uzbekistan)
• Kingdom- Timurid (by birth)
• Founder- Mughalia sultanate

Babar was direct decendant of two legendary conqurers -Taimur lang and changez Khan. The word Babar means 🐅 tiger.

• Successor of Taimur from His father Umar sheikh Mirza II side.
• Successor of changez Khan from his mother Qutlugh nigar khanum side.

Babur occupied (accended) the royal throne of throne of Fergana in its capital Akshiet in 1494 at the very small age of twelve and faced rebellion. He conquered Samarkand two years later but lost Feghana.After two time attempting ferghana he lost control in Samarkand. when he made his again attempt to control both of the cities, he was faced defeat by Muhammad shaybani Khan in 1501. In 1504 when made his ebullient try to win Kabul he was showered with success.At that time kabul was under the putative rule of Abdur Razaq Mirza. With the support of the Safavid caliph Ismail I conquered Turkistan.

Babar was an Nature lover man.

He was an Green panther and conservationist of that time. Tree plantion (🌳🌴🌲) especially fruit trees like Pomegranate, Apricot,Almonds,Apples etc Was his hobbies.

Babar describes a vast and bountiful amount of fruits and Nature description in his memoir BABAR-NAMA or Tuzak-i-Babri.

He was an multiskilled multitasking legendary leader like his ancestors. He also describes alot about his country ferghana in his memoir.

Bagh-i-Babar is an beautiful garden in which hand planted trees by Babar still stands in Kabul Afghanistan it is also the burial place of Babar.

He was a pantomath.

Daulat Khan Lodi-one of the rebels of Lodi dynasty (Ibrahim Lodi) and Rana Sanga a local Mewari Ruler of Rajasthan invited Babar to come India and defeat Ibrahim Lodi (sultan of Delhi sultanate).

Babar was always fond of Indias geographical and Natural values

And indeed India was also very wealthy at that time. so Babar decided to spread his boundary from Afghanistan to India. The term "Hindostan" got its worth and importance at the time of Mughal empire.

Now!!!!!!!!!!!

In the quarter of 16th century, Babar steeped into India and soaked the seed of Hindostan, so that a new Strong indistructable trees of "MUGHAL HINDOSTAN" builds.The coming generation {Rulers} flourished and glorified Hindostan in the History map of India and also made India a "gold sparrow".

"Arrival of Babar" was quite undigestable to Delhi sultanate and from here the Battel begins.

YEAR 1526 (HINDOSTAN).

To make History and Achieve Victory in Battle both can't be done on the numerical strength of the army, strategy plays major role.

It was estimated that Babar forces numbered around 15,000 men and had between 20 to 24 pieces of field artillery. Ibrahim Lodi had around 100,000 men, though that number included camp followers, while the fighting force was around 30,000 to 40,000 men in total, along with at least 1000 war elephants.

With such an massive giant army Anyone can win but due to applying poor strategy Lodi failed and faced defeat.

Babar was an sharp minded leader.

He made an such a type of strategy that the Biggest warrior and the biggest army can become impotent.

Babur made use of two strategy in the battle of Panipat- TULUGHMA and ARABA .he also made use of field artillery and muskets.

Strategy TULUGHMA by Babar 

Babar divided his army into forward left, rear left, forward right, rear right, and center divisions. Once the battle begins, the right and left flanks broke away and surrounded Lodi forces, forcing them towards the center.This strategy is ottoman fashioned.

Strategy ARABA by Babar 

Placing large numbers of carts in rows facing the enemy and tied to each other with ropes and fixing canons just behind the carts.

By applying these two strategies Babar pulled the rope of victory more nearer to his foot step. 

Finally Babar In the battle of Panipat, 1526, defeated Ibrahim Lodi.Despite being heavily outnumbered, Babur defeated Ibrahim  mainly because of two thing, one being his superb military tactics as discussed above, second being the innovative idea of field artillery and cannons in

Indian subcontinent. Batteling with cannons and artillery was a new concept in that period. By the defeat of Delhi sultanate,Babar was the ruler of Delhi and Agra and some more regions.

But now also Babar was surrounded by many of his new enemys in Hindostan.

Rana Sanga 

invited Babar to defeat ibrahim lodhi because he thought that like earlier invaders(Muhammad gazani, Taimur lang,changez khan)he will also loot delhi and return back to his kingdom and Rana Sanga could get the throne of Delhi.Rana Sanga was disappointed and astonished as Babar planned to setup here.

Rana Sanga was one of the rulers of India who invited Babar to come India but at the time rendered no help. Rana Sanga deceived babar.

These conflicts took shape of the battle of khanwa.

Battle of khanwa was fought near the village khanwa, in Bharatpur District of Rajasthan, on March 16, 1527.Rana Sanga was badly defeated by Babar and was killed in this battle.

The most faithful conscioused general (friend) of Rana Sanga was 

Medini Rai of chanderi (Madhya Pradesh).

Medini Rai wants to take revenge with Mughal caliph Babar as Babar defeated, killed and over thrown his friend/leader Rana Sanga 

This led to battle of chanderi

Medini Rai was given a chance to surrender but chose to die and remain loyal to the Rana. Babur also offered Medini ,Shamsabad in exchange for Chanderi but he didn't agreed and fought with Babar.In January 1528 this battle was fought Babar again defeated Medini Rai. Battle of chanderi was the repercussion or aftermath of battle of khanwa.

Now the younger brother of Ibrahim Lodi , Muhammad Lodi wants to take revenge.

In 1529, the battle of Ghaghra was fought between Muhammad Lodi and Babur. Muhammad Lodi was helped by the sultan of Bengal Nusrat Shah, but Babur again turned victorious and it established his power in India.

After winning series of Battle zahir uddin Muhammad BABAR finally got success. powered and elevated MUGHAL dynasty in India..

Babar efforts for the establishment of Mughal empire in Indian subcontinent is tremendous.

There is web of mystery dibates on the death of Babar,it is said that Babar died on 26 December 1530 in Agra India at time Babar was temporarily burried in Rambagh Agra and according to his last wish he was reburried in his loving garden Bagh-i-Babar Kabul Afghanistan.

Some archeologists and historians claims that the mother of Ibrahim Lodi poised the food Babar through that poisn he was killed. But 

some says that the hot and humid climate of India didn't proved sulubriuos for Babars health.

One more very facinating story behind the death of Babar is that after the 6month stay at sambhal in 1530s Babars son Humayun terribly fell ill , when the situation started becoming critical he was bought Agra but in Agra also all the physicians couldn't combat with the problem. It was suggested that a very precious and valuable amount should be donated for the betterment of Humayun

The most precious diamond Kohinoor was suggested ,but Babar disagreed and quoted that Kohinoor belong to his son as earlier Babar gifted it to Humayun so it was not an sacrifice.

 He said, the most precious thing is his life so he prayed Almighty Allah to make his life instead of his son. 

Miraculously, after some time Humayun's health started becoming well and Babar's stated becoming critical soon Babar died.

This was a very Historic event which took place in the  history of India.

 At a very young age of 47 Babar passed away on 26 December 1530 in Agra
