The Mughal Empire has been an important part of Indian history, but do you know that the Mughals were not originally from India? They were from a foreign dynasty that came to India and established a huge empire. In this article, you will learn where the Mughals lived earlier and why they had to come to India. Did the Mughals like India or was there some other secret behind this?
According to information received from sources, whenever foreign invaders attacked India, they won and looted and left, but not the Mughals; they made India their home. There was a lot of cleverness behind this. The roots of the Mughal dynasty were in Central Asia; the Mughals once lived in Fargana, which is in Uzbekistan. Babar, who laid the foundation of Mughal rule, was the ruler of this Fargana.
History claims that the Mughals always faced the threat of life in Fargana; there were wars there now and then. Babar came to India mainly to save his life and in search of a peaceful rule. Due to this, Babar first fled from Fargana to Kabul and then entered India. Babar attacked India four times from 1520 to 1524. He got success in the fifth attack in 1525.
With victory in the first battle of Panipat, Babur sowed the seeds of the Mughal Empire in India. The Mughal rule in India is believed to be from 1526 to 1707. At that time, India was one of the richest countries in the world. Its gold and silver mines, fertile land, trade routes, and huge treasures were the center of attraction for the Mughals.
Many battles were fought to lay the foundation of the Mughals in India; major ones included the Battle of Panipat, the Battle of Khanwa, and the Battle of Ghagra. After these wars, before his death, Babar had won Punjab, Delhi, and Bihar. Before his death, he also wrote his book, which contained every minor and major thing about him.
