Baber, also Babar, or Babur, originally Zahir ud-Din Mohammed, a Mongol, conquered India, made periodic raids from 1519-1524, captured Delhi and Agra in 1526, and founded the dynasty of Mughal.
From center Asia, this more commonly known military adventurer established his first kingdom in 1504 and afterward rose to power at Kabul. He built an army for nearby regions and then invaded the Afghan empire of south Asia of Lodi and laid the basis.
A descendant of Genghis Khan bore Babur to a descendant of Timur. He identified his Timurid and Chaghatay-Turkic lineage, while Persian culture steeped his origin.
