Babur Nama
The Babur Nama, a journal kept by Zahir Uddin Muhammad Babur (1483–1530),
the founder of the Mughal Empire, is the earliest example of autobiographical
writing in world literature, and one of the finest. Against the turbulent
backdrop of medieval history, it paints a precise and vivid picture
of life in Central Asia and Afghanistan where Babur ruled in Samarkand
and Kabul-and in the Indian subcontinent, where his dazzling military
career culminated in the founding of a dynasty that lasted three centuries.
Babur was far more than a skilled, often ruthless, warrior and master
strategist. In this abridged and edited version of a 1921 English translation
of his memoirs, he also emerges as a sensitive aesthete, naturalist,
poet and lover. Writer, journalist and internationally acclaimed Middle
eastern and Central asian expert, Dilip Hiro breathes new life into a
unique historical document that is at once objective and intensely personal-for,
in Babur’s words, ‘the truth should be reached in every matter’.
