| General |
-
He was a conqueror from Central Asia.
-
Following a series of setbacks, he finally succeeded in becoming the
Emperor.
-
He was a direct descendant of Timur through his
father, and also a descendant of Genghis Khan
through his mother.
-
After the battle Babur occupied Delhi and Agra, seated himself on
the throne of Lodi and laid the foundation of the Mughal
Rule in India.
-
But he was yet to become the ruler of India, as new
contenders for the throne like, Rana Sanga, who
rose to challenge his rule. The Rajputs believed that they could
capture Delhi from Babur without much difficulty. But Babur resolved
to push further into India, into lands never previously claimed by
the Timurids.
-
He is popularly believed to have demolished the Rama Temple at
Ayodhya and built Babri Mosque at the same
place.
-
The summary of the ASI report submitted to the court indicated the
presence of a 10th-century temple under the mosque. The report
concluded that it was over the top of this construction that the
disputed structure was constructed during the early 16th century.
