Babur: The Founder of Mughal

Babur

                        
Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur (14 February 1483 – 26 December 1530; sometimes also spelt Baber or Babar) was a conqueror from Central Asia who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynastyin the Indian Subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor. He was a direct descendant of Timur, from the Barlas clan, through his father, and also a descendant of Genghis Khan through his mother. Culturally, he was greatly influenced by thePersian culture and this affected both his own actions and those of his successors, giving rise to a significant expansion of thePersianate ethos in the Indian subcontinent.[2][3]
