Babur was the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, born in 1483 in present-day Uzbekistan. He was a descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur, which gave him a strong lineage. Babur was not only a skilled warrior but also a talented poet and writer. He wrote his memoirs, known as the Baburnama, which provide insights into his life and the culture of his time. In 1526, Babur defeated the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, at the Battle of Panipat, marking the beginning of the Mughal rule in India. His leadership and vision helped establish a vast empire that would flourish for centuries, influencing art, architecture, and culture in the region.
