BABUR (meaning “tiger” in Persian), also spelled Babar or Baber, born on 15.2.1483 in the province of Fergana, now Uzbekistan, died on 26.12.1530 in Agra, India.
Emperor, 1526-1530, founder of the Mughal dynasty in North and Central India.
BABUR is a descendant of Mongol conqueror Genghis-Kahn (maternal line), 1155-1227, and also of Turkic conqueror Timur-Leng, called Tamerlan (paternal line), 1336-1405.
BABUR was a military adventurer, a corageous soldier, a brilliant poet and diarist, as well as a statesman.
His memoirs, which were translated into Persian by his grandson Akbar in the 16th century, provide a vivid insight into the life of the Great Moghul from the age of 12 until his death.
