About The Book: The book contain The Memoirs of Babar, the first of the Moghul Emperors of Hindustan, begins with the words, "In the month of Ramazan of the year eight hundred and ninety-nine (June, 1494), I became King of Farghana." Babar serves as a crucial link between Central Asia and India, predatory hordes and imperial government, and Tamerlane and Akbar. His bloodline is a mixture of the two great Scourges of Asia, Chingiz and Timur, and he embodies the daring and restlessness of the nomad Tatar as well as the culture and urbanity of the Persian. He brought the energy of the Mongol and the courage and capacity of the Turk to the listless Hindu. Although Babar was a soldier of fortune and not an architect of empire, he laid the first stone of the splendid fabric that his grandson Akbar achieved.
