2. THE RULE OF BABUR
• Babur played a very important role for the Mughal Empire and Babur was also the
first Mughal ruler ,for twenty years Babur had dreamed of conquering Hindustan.
Babur inherited Ferghana in central Asia from his father who was Umer Sheikh
Mirza. He inherited Ferghana in 1994. He was only 12 to 13 years old at that time
and because of this he soon lost the kingdom to his relatives. Then he soon decided
to take over Kabul and he did , though he was not able to regain his ancestral home
Ferghana, Samarqand or even Bokara. After this loss Babur never gave up on his
dream of conquering Hindustan.

3. THE BATTLE OF
PANIPAT
The Delhi sultans lost their hold on Delhi, Arga
and Doab. Babur thought that Ranga Sanga
would take the throne of Delhi, Arga and Doab
so he gathered an army 10,000 troops, it was
21st April 1526 when the battle started just
when the sun was rising. Babur was a great
military leader he arranged his Men, cannons
and cavalry in such a way that Barber claimed
Hindustan by midday Barbers full name was
the Zahirrudin Muhammad Babur. After this
battle Babur had to face Ranga Sanga, he gave
a spiritual speech to his troops and soon they
won but Babur was only able to rule for one
year because he was not able to comfortably
live in Hindustan's climate and soon got ill and
died.
Babur was able to conquer Lahore
,he left Alauddin Lodhi to rule as
his governor but soon Daulat khan
came he regained Lahore and
sent Alauddin Lodhi to Kabul.
After hearing this
news Babur decided to
take revenge from Daulat khan.

4. SUMMARY

but he was only able to rule for 1

Hindustan Babur was a great ruler

5. HUMAYUN
• Humayun was Babur's eldest son . The full name of Humayun was Nasir Uddin Humayun.
Humayun played a very important role for the Mughal empire but there was a problem and
that was that Humayun was a lot different from his father Zahir Rudin Muhammad Babur.
Humayun was born in 1508 in Kabul where his father was planning an invasion of India.
Humayun took the rule at a reasonable age ,22. Humayun's bother were given some part of
his rule because before Babur's death Babur requested Humayun to share some part with his
brothers and Humayun did as Babur said .Humayun's personality was a lot different from his
father but he was still the eldest son and after having the empire he shared some land with
his brothers, this did not depend on his father's sayings but it only depended on his
personality which was kindness. After dividing the empire with his brothers Kamran, Askari
Mirza and Hindal. He found out that they had betrayed him and had sided with the enemies
because of Humayun's forgiving personality he forgave them when he should have punished
them.

6. TAKEOVER OF SHER SHAH
SURI
• His change in personality with Babur left him with
some disadvantages. Humayun underestimated his
enemies including Sher shah Suri an Afghan noble
and within 10 years of being crowned Humayun lost
his rule. Sher shah Suri meanwhile took over the rich
province of Bengal. The battle of Kanauj in 1540
decided Humayun's fate and soon Humayun lost ,
Humayun then took refuge with shah Tahmasp
leaving Agra, Humayun decided to go to Kashmir, but
his brother Kamran blocked his way then Humayun
fled to Sindh where he took refuge with the Raja of
Umerkot where his son was born Akbar in 1542. In
1544 Humayun went to take refuge with shah
Tahmasp of Persia. There lived with him for about ten
years.

7. FACTS ABOUT HUMAYUN
• Humayun needed help to regain Punjab, Delhi and Arga. So, by the help of Shah
Tahmasp Humayun was able to regain these places by defeating Sikandar Suri and
ascending the throne after 15 years.
• A long stay in Persia led Humayun who adopted the Persian culture.
• Humayun was not a military genius like his father Zahir Rudin Muhammad Babur.
• Humayun's full name was Nasir Uddin Humayun.
• Humayun loved astronomy, astrology, painting and poetry.
• Humayun was always eager to complete his goals like he was eager to regain the
empire, and so he did.

8. HUMAYUN'S DEATH
• Sadly, after about 6 months
Humayun had a fall from the
stairs of his observatory. He
was carrying books and fell but
he did not die he was only
fractured but soon he died
because of this. This was the
end of Humayun but his son
Akbar who was 13 years old
got the throne

9. THE THRONE FOR AKBAR
• After Akbar's father, Nasir ud din Humayun died, Akbar got the
throne at a small age ,13. Akbar had Bairam khan as his regent or
helper who would always help Akbar to take decisions and would
give Akbar advice. Bairam khan would always be there for Akbar ,
he helped Akbar defeat Hemu a Rajput ruler. Just like the first
battle of Panipat had led Babur to the throne of Hindustan, the
second battle of Panipat made Akbar the undisputed ruler on
Hindustan too.

10. THE SECOND BATTLE OF PANIPAT
• The second battle of Panipat was between Akbar and a Rajput ruler ,the prime
minister of Bengal Hemu. It was very hard for Akbar to fight and so Akbar's regent
Bairam khan who was about 18 years old helped Akbar to fight . Soon an arrow
stuck into Hemu's eye his soldiers thought that Hemu could no longer be alive and
because there was no leader to guide them, they gave up and ran. The first battle of
Panipat bought Babur to a victory and in this second battle Akbar was the victorious.
• After some time when Akbar had grown up his mother and foster mother thought
that Bairam khan should not be the regent anymore because after Akbar's death
Bairam khan would then be able to take Akbars throne, so Akbar and his mother's
decided to send Bairam khan for pilgrimage and when Bairam khan set out, he was
murdered by an Afghan near Gujarat. After Bairam khan Akbar had the Nauratan
who he called his nine jewels to help him.

11. MANSABDARI SYSTEM
• Akbar introduced the Mansabdari system ,this system was later followed by
the British. The Mansabs was divided in 33 ranks, and each depended on
the number of horses the Mansabdar could keep. The highest rank was from 5 to 10
thousand which was mostly given to the royal blood. Th rank from five thousand to
5 hundred was mostly held by the nobles and the lowest Mansabdar was only given
10 horses. This was the Mansabdari system which Akbar started. The Mansabdars
were appointed from the best talents and were given salaries from the emperor to
maintain their ranks. Jagirs were given to the Mansabdars but were taken back after
the death of the Mansabdar. A Hindu Todar Mal rose to be a Diwan and got a
chance to be the Wazir .
