Zāhir ud-Dīn Mohammad, commonly known asBābur (February 14, 1483 – December 26, 1530) (Chaghatay/Persian:ﻇﻬﻴﺮ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ محمد بابر; also spelledZahiruddin, Zahiriddin, Muhammad, Bobur, Baber, Babar, etc.), was aMuslim Emperor fromCentral Asia who founded theMughal dynasty ofSouth Asia. He was a direct descendant ofTimur, and believed himself to be a descendant also ofGenghis Khan through his mother. Following a series of set-backs he succeeded in laying the basis for theMughal Empire.
The Mughal Empire was an important imperial power in theIndian Subcontinent from the early sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. At the height of its power, around 1700, it controlled most of the subcontinent and parts of what is nowAfghanistan. Its population at that time has been estimated as between 100 and 150 million, over a territory of over 3 million square km. Following 1720 it declined rapidly. Its decline has been variously explained as caused by wars of succession, agrarian crises fueling local revolts, the growth of religious intolerance and British colonialism. The lastEmperor, whose rule was restricted to the city ofDelhi, was imprisoned and exiled by theBritish after theIndian Rebellion of 1857. (more...)
