Baburnama
(JOURNAL OF EMPEROR BABUR)
Basawan and Suraj Gujrati. Illustration from Baburnama or Memoirs of Babur, ca. 183-1530.
Baburnama is an autobiographical account by Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur, a descendant of Timur and the first Mughal king of India. The miniatures are from an illustrated copy of the Baburnama prepared for the author's grandson, the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar’s commissions were divided up among teams of artists working at the court, and often two painters collaborated on a single image, in addition to the calligraphers. This particular illustration is attributed to Basawan, responsible for the composition and the drawing, and Suraj Gujarati, who painted it. The miniatures reflect the culture of the Mughal court at Delhi, and are important as evidence of the tradition of exquisite miniature painting which developed at the court of Timur and his successors. Timurid miniatures are among the greatest artistic achievements of the Islamic world in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
In 1526, Zahiruddin Muhammad ‘Babur’ (d. 1530) established his rule over a swath of northern India and thus created what most readers will know as the Mughal dynasty, which after some early fits and starts would rule an immense, rich, and powerful empire until the 18th century, and remain the nominal rulers of most of the subcontinent until 1858.
First Ruler Of Moghul Empire
I always used to say that I like historical movies, whether fictional (eg. Bahubali) or non-fictional (eg. Tanhaji). Till now I had never tried reading about history, as I never liked that subject when I was in school. Recently I thought of giving it a shot, and bought Raiders From The North by Alex Rutherford, the book is the first in the series Empire Of The Moghul.
The book is all about Babur - the first ruler of the Moghul Empire. His journey since he became the king of Ferghana - a small kingdom currently in Uzbekistan, at an age of just 12 Years Old. Babur used to write about his journey in a book titled Baburnama - his autobiography. And the author used this autobiography to write her Book. The author also visited all the places where Babur’s major events happened, stayed with the people over there, and talked to them. And after thorough research wrote this book.
This book is Historical Fiction means it is based on historical facts but some parts of the book are fictional to hook the reader. When I first started reading the book I used to Google which parts are real and which parts are fiction, later I realized that the author has given a note at the end of the book to tell which parts were fiction, which was very nice to have after all.
There is also a TV Series which is based on the Book - The Empire, which you can watch on Hotstar, the first episode published on 21st August 2021.
I would highly recommend reading this book if you are a history lover and want to know more about the events which happened around 1500′s.
