DESCRIPTION
Near Panipat , 50 miles north of Delhi, a young man named Om Prakash said , "Here all place battlefield. "I saw only a pancake of croplands. "Babur dig a big ditch." Om said I saw only irrigation cannels. But Om was right about that ditch. In 1526 Babur arrayed his army beside Panipat, behind a ditch and farm carts lashed together. He was about to cap a lifetime of campaigning with his greatest victory. Babur had become a chieftain at the age of 11, after the death of his father , Mirza (prince) Umar Shaikh, had been in his pigeon house at the edge of a ravine. Apparently the foundation collapsed.
Babur records "Umar Shaikh Mirza flew , with his pigeons and their house, and became a falcon." Fortunately there were loyal nobles to aid the young leader , for Fergana was threatened by neighbors eager for land and spoils .Boy ruler soon became boy buccaneer, seeking spoils himself. West of Fergana gleamed rich Samarkand. It looked like an easy prize Babur was 14 when he won it. He lost is the next year, won it again, but still could not hold on. And while preoccupated with Samarkand, he lost Fergana. Wandering south in 1504 into present-day Afghanistan, ho found the ruler of Kabul unprepared to withstand a siege This easy victory gave him a base for future conquests.
He felt secure enough to promote himself from mirza to Padshah, "supreme lord." a title his successors also and he would spend much of his time fighting other monarchs in this mosaic of competing kingdoms. In 1530 Humayun fell ill. Babur's daughter , Begum Gulbadan (Princess Rose Body), wrote that Babur offered his own life to Allah in exchange for his eldest son's. Humayun recovered, Babur fell ill. He tried to put family affairs in orders arranging marriages for his daughters. Then his lifelong campaign was finished.
