Zaheeruddin Muhammad Babur (AD 1504-1525)

If you're given a power packed combination of Timur and Changez Khan as paternal and maternal ancestors respectively, you can be sure of getting something wild, untamed and interfering as the product. Yes, you get Babur. It is only natural that Babur poked his nose almost everywhere where it had no business. He derided exactly everything about India: its people, foods, dresses, buildings, animals and vegetation. However, given his dishonorable past record, his pure experiences and trounces in Farghana, Samarkan d and the Punjab, it seems to be a matter of sheer luck that Delhi fell to him. Dramatic to his bones, Babur had excelled in the art of emotional blackmailing. In India, Babur spent much of his time engaged in activities like drinking, singing, dancing, music, literature and painting, and judging.
