The book contains Biography, conquests and administration of prominent
Indian Emperors like Babar of the Mughal dynasty.Babar was the first of the Mughal emperors of India.Babar us the link
between Central Asia and India, between predatory hordes adn imnperial government, between
Tamerlane and Akbar.Babar brought the energy of the Mongol. the courage and capacity of
the Turk, to the listless Hindus and himself a soldier of fortune and no architect of
empire, he yet laid the first stone of their splendid fabric which hsi grandson Akbar
achieved.His permanent place in history rests upon his Indian conquest which
opened the way for an imperial line, but his place in biography and in literature is
determined rather by his daring adventures and preserving efforts in his ealier days, and
by the delightful memoirs in which he related them. On December 26, 1530, he passed away in his beautiful garden palace in Agra-a man of only 48, a king of 36 years-but years crowded with events, with hardships,
tumult, and strenous energy. The boy prince who had fought for his heritage long and
indomitably with hordes of savage Mongols and Uzbeqs, and only relinqueshed the hope of
his ancestral throne after a struggle of 20 years, had at last found the way to a great
and nobler empire-whose splendour and ancient glory he had not yet learned to realise-but
which he left, a magnificient heirloom, for his grandson Akbar to cherish and enrich.
