The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur) by Emperor of Hindustan Babur
"The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)" by Emperor of Hindustan Babur is a memoir written between 1494-1530 in the Chagatai language. This vivid autobiography chronicles Babur's journey from a young Central Asian prince losing and reclaiming Samarkand to his establishment of the Mughal Empire in India. The work reveals his keen observations on nature, politics, military campaigns, and society, while candidly documenting his personal struggles, including the decisive Battle of Panipat.
His grandson Akbar later commissioned lavishly illustrated Persian translations that brought these remarkable events to life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
