	Babur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Babur believed himself the rightful heir to the throne of Timur, and it was Timur who had originally left Khizr Khan in charge of his vassal in the Punjab, who became the leader, or Sultan, of the Delhi Sultanate, founding the Sayyid dynasty.
		Babur was far too generous concerning wealth, and by the time of his death the Empire's coffers were almost empty; troops were even ordered to return a third of their income back to the treasury.
		After Babur fell seriously ill, Humayun was told of a plot by the senior nobles of Babur's court to bypass the leader's sons and appoint Mahdi Khwaja, Babur's sister's husband, as his successor.

	Babur missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Babur missile (Urdu: tiger) is the first cruise missile fielded by Pakistan.
		Babur is part of Pakistan's Hatf missile series.
		The unannounced initial launch on 11 August 2005 caught much of the international community by surprise due to the technically advance nature of the missile, as well as the fact that Pakistan did not notify India of its test-firing even though the existing notification agreement is limited to ballistic missile testing only.

	Babur
		At the age of 14, Babur ascended the throne of the Central Asian kingdom of Farghana.
		Babur's victory at Panipat in 1526 established the Mughal Empire and ended the reign of the Delhi Sultanate.
		Racially, Babur was a Turk with a thin stream of Mongol blood in his veins; therefore, the term 'Mughal' by which he and his descendants were known in India was really a misnomer.

	Babur
		While Babur would never expand his own land holdings to even a fraction of that of Ghengis' (his empire was the largest the world has ever known), Timur served as an excellent role-model, for he usurped a more modest, though still impressive kingdom including the lands of present-day Khorasan (Afghanistan-today, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, India and Pakistan-today).
		Babur made three valiant attempts on Samarkand, but his sieges were ultimately futile, for each time he captured the city, he was unable to hold it for long.
		In 1526, Babur's forces crushed Ibrahim Lodi's army, largely due to Babur's access to artillery and gunpowder, both of which were in short supply on Lodi's side.

		From Hangu, Babur continued westward to Thal, a town on River Khurram (Khurram Agency) from where he traveled south-east along the river on a track called Gosfand-liyar (sheep road) as it was not a frequent riding road.
		Babur was more of a fugitive prince than an emperor for the first 22 years of his life.
		Babur wrote: "After passing Chutiali, a village in Duki, my own felt tent had to be left from want of baggage-beast." Some more marches brought Babur within two miles of Ab-i-istada (standing water), a shallow lake near Ghazni, where he saw a red cloud in the horizon.

		Babur, one of the most significant figures in Indo-Islamic history, was descended from Timur (known in the West as Tamerlane).
		Babur, a descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan, was a truly remarkable man: a soldier and a poet, an inspirational leader with a deep appreciation for the beauties of nature - and a sensitivity that seems striking to us in a warrior of his undoubted stature.
		For Babur, India is only the consolation prize after his failure to reconquer the lands of his birthright; India is rich, yes, astoundingly so, but it is far removed from his fond reminiscences of home.

	Babur
		The army that took Panipat had no place to return to: Babur was in the middle of hostile territory, any retreat would have been attacked by the petty kings and chieftains who had let him pass, largely unopposed.
		We may assume their restraint was brought with promises of reward after victory; should Babur fail, there was no need for the locals to keep their word.
		Should Babur's star be dimmed by defeat at Panipat, his enemies back home would surely have been emboldened to dethrone him yet again.

		Hambly writes that Humayun, the eldest son of Babur, was dispatched to seize Sultan Ibrahim's household and treasure at Agra while Babur, himself, advanced on Delhi.
		According to Hambly, Babur was unhappy to find no gardens in India like the ones he had known in Kabul.
		Racially, Babur was a Turk with a thin stream of Mongol blood in his veins; therefore, notes Hambly (1968), the term 'Mughal' by which he and his descendants were known in India was really a misnomer.

		Babur, or Zahir-ud-din Mohammad Babur (February 14, 1483 – December 26, 1530) (Persian: ظﮩیرالدین محمد بابر, also spelled Zahiriddin, Muhammad, Bobur, Baber, Babar, etc.) was the Turco-Mongol Emperor who founded the Mughal dynasty of India.
		Hence Babur, though nominally a Mongol (or Mughal in Persian), drew much of his support from the Turkic and Iranian peoples of Central Asia, and his army was diverse in its ethnic makeup, including Pashtuns, Persians (Tajiks) and Qizilbash from Persia as well as Turks.
		Nevertheless, Babur, who had fought as a warrior for Islam was now indulging in the forbidden (Haraam).
