INTRODUCTION Bobur's life in the years that followed was full of courageous deeds that left an indelible mark on history. The most important of these is the conquest of India. The acquisition of Delhi and its dependent areas is particularly important. This march took place more than twenty years after Babur ruled Kabul and Ghazna. Prior to that, Babur had ruled in Badakhshan, Kunduz and Kandahar. Before going into the details of Babur's march to India, it is worthwhile to give a brief account of the circumstances which played a certain role in the formation of his kingdom here, namely the state structure of India before Babur, the kingdom of Delhi and its events. The fate of the large population of India and its constituent countries seems to have long been doomed to fall victim to invaders from the north. They have not made any invasions since ancient times outside the vast territory from the Himalayas, the natural border of their country, to the Indian Ocean. After long marches by the Persians and Greeks, the country was later invaded by Asian Muslims by land and by European Christians by sea. The situation in the country has changed radically with the influx of Muslims. Their rule here is historically divided into two periods. The first period is from the arrival of Sultan Published by “ SUMMUS LLC" http:// summusjournals.uz IJDIIE Volume: 01 Issue: 02 | September 2020 Ghaznavi (1021) to the arrival of Babur and covers a period of five hundred years. The second period is a period of more than three hundred years, covering the period from the day Babur came to India to 1858. This is called the period of the Baburi dynasty in India. Babur Chigatay, who founded a new dynasty in India in 1526, belonged to the Turkic family. Yet in Indian history, his family is called the "Mongols." 2. MAIN PART Representatives of this dynasty have skillfully ruled India for a long time. They were able to maintain political unity in a very large part of the country and ensure the prosperity of this vast empire in peace. This dynasty supplied the country with a series of talented rulers from Babur to Avrangzeb. The Timurids usually did not consider the caliph as their piri, but ruled the state independently on the basis of their own views. They perfected the means and methods of waging war with the enemy. They used artillery for the first time in India. They also guided the growth and development of literature and the fine arts in every field. During the Baburi period, India's relations with foreign countries were restored. A country like Afghanistan would remain part of a great empire. He acted as a mediator to connect India with Iran, Central Asia, and through them the far countries of the West. This would allow India to trade with foreign countries and further develop. It also helped maintain cultural ties with West Asian countries. For almost three centuries, Indians and Muslims have lived side by side without bringing religious rivalry by bringing together communities of two different faiths and two different lifestyles. Thus, the Baburis not only preserved many of the traditions used in the Delhi kingdom, but also succeeded in continuing many of them. That is why the history of the Baburi dynasty occupies an important and honorable place in the history of India. All modern historians emphasize that Babur has a very revered place in history. The English historian W.A. Smith writes, "Babur was the greatest of the Asian princes of the time, and his place in history is greatly admired among the princes of the past." European historian Havel describes Babur as "one of the most attractive figures in the history of the Islamic world." The English orientalist U. According to Erskin, "there was no prince among the Asian princes who could hold an equal position with Babur." Bobur’s personality and his character are undoubtedly worthy of such high praise. But if he had not conquered much of North India, he would not have held such a high place in the pages of history. His policies in Asian countries and his contribution to the conquest of Afghanistan did not bring him much fame. It is only because of his victorious marches in India that he has a famous and significant place in history. In the Middle Ages, only a powerful ruler was a good ruler. India, too, could only prosper on the basis of a strong and influential government. For centuries, the Rajputs, Turks, and Afghans took turns trying to establish an empire and a strong monarchy in India. They tried to establish an empire and a strong monarchy in India. But none of them succeeded. Babur, on the other hand, was able to establish his dynasty of enterprising rulers and a vast empire in this country. He fought decisive battles in India three times, namely Panipat, Qanwa and Gogra, and won all of them. With this he brought to India the Timurid state administration and laid a solid foundation for it. Indian historian S.R. Sharma compares Bobur to King Henry VII of England. They both overthrew their predecessors and claimants to the throne and established their own dynasty at the head of the state. In this regard, Sharma writes: “In 1526, Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in a battle near Panipat, creating a new era in Indian history and bringing a new dynasty to the throne of Delhi. In the same way, Henry VII, who had won the Battle of the Bosphorus forty years earlier, had established his dynasty and government in England. According to the Indian historian R.P. Tripati, "the triumph of the Baburi Empire was due not only to its military might, but Published by “ INTER SCIENCE" http://ihm.iscience.uz/index.php/ijihm IJDIIE Volume: 01 Issue: 02 | September 2020 also to the fact that it exercised freedom of religion in its policies and made a great contribution to cultural life." This policy was initiated by Babur. 3. DISCUSSION Babur not only showed how to build a new empire, but also taught the policy of governing this empire. The dynasty he established in India and its traditions cannot be found in any other country. Babur did not even claim the caliphate as head of state and did not feel a religious need in his governing activities. On the contrary, when he was awarded the title of "King", he ruled the country independently in the style of the Timurids. That is why he theoretically changed the administration of the state that ruled in the kingdom of Delhi. This was, of course, the beginning of a policy of religious neutrality in public administration. Although Babur failed to establish a single empire throughout India, his name lives on in our memory because of the royal works he created, especially his autobiographical work. The history of the Timurids has always been in the center of attention of world historians. As the orientalist W. Barthold points out, the researcher of the period of Timur and his descendants “suffers not from the lack of information, but from the abundance. Because they are scattered throughout many libraries, they require a critical review and publication in the first place. Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur's work "Boburnoma" as a historical and literary source is also honored, as it tells about many historical figures, people of literature and art, people of religion, kings and princes, princes, princes and emirs. H. According to Hasanov, the Boburnoma contains more than a thousand place names. T. Nafasov cites exact numbers and writes that "Boburnoma" contains 1406 names and more than 1,100 place names. It is obvious that the opinions of experts on the names of places and the number of people in "Boburnoma" differ significantly. There is no information in the study as to how many of the above approximate figures belong to Movarounnahr. Therefore, we have tried to clarify these issues below. A total of 1,540 names are mentioned in the Boburnoma. 357 of them are historical figures of Movarounnahr. The rest are historical figures who lived in different periods, in different countries. Movarounnahr consists of 357 historical figures of different categories. Including 5 amirs and nobles; 20 kings and princes; 42 princesses and royal daughters; 52 Umaros, army chiefs and beys; 21 are religious and mystical; 30 people of science and literature; The names of 187 different people - soldiers, peasants, artists, craftsmen, slaves, oilmen - were mentioned and commented on. In the work of Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur "Boburnoma" we see the names and information about 25 emirs and nobles of Movarounnahr.

While Timurid fine art such as miniature painting has been extensively studied, the literary production of the era has not been fully explored. Abd al-Rahman Jami (817/1414- 898/1492), the most renowned poet of the Timurids, is among those Timurid poets who have not been methodically studied in Iran and the West. Although, Jami was recognized by his contemporaries as a major authority in several disciplines, such as science, philosophy, astronomy, music, art, and most important of all poetry, he has yet not been entirely acknowledged in the post Timurid era. This dissertation highlights the significant contribution of Jami, the great poet and Sufi thinker of the fifteenth century, who is regarded as the last great classical poet of Persian literature. It discusses his influence on Persian literature, his central role in the Naqshbandi Order, and his input in clarifying Ibn Arabi's thought. Jami spent most of his life in Herat, the main center for artistic ability and aptitude in the fifteenth century; the city where Jami grew up, studied, flourished and produced a variety of prose and poetry.

  • Mughal-Afghan Conflict in South Asia: Origin and Development
    TAKATOO Issue 11 Volume6 46 January – June 2014 Mughal-Afghan Conflict in South Asia: Origin and Development Himayatullah Yaqubi Abstract: Afghans and Mughals remained at war with each-others not only in the mainland of India but also along the porous north-western border inhibited largely by the Afghans. In fact, Zahir-ud-Din Babur, the founder of Mughal Dynasty, had faced the Afghan danger not only in border areas but also had to compete with them for the throne of Delhi. However, very little academic work has been done to discover the origin of their conflict that took the contour of an un-ending rivalry between the two nations. The Afghans in general, throughout the Mughal rule in India, never reconciled with them and most of the time resisted their intrusions. The paper aims at to dig out the actual cause or causes of their conflict and its development in historical perspective. The objective is to relocate roots of their relationship in Kabul when Ulegh Beg Mirza, brother of Umar Shaikh Mirza, was ruling over there. In addition, its effects, on the Indian political events that unfolded during Babur and Humayun times, would be judged to comprehend its true nature. It would be judged that how their relationship in Kabul fashioned future Indian political discourse between the two nations. Mughal-Afghan Relations in Kabul After the death of Timur, there was chaos in his vast empire. His vast empire was divided amongst his four sons; Miran Shah, Jahangir, Amir Shaikh and Shah Rukh Mirza. In the family of Timur, Abu Said was the son of Sultan Muhammad Mirza, grandson of Miran Shah and grand-grandson of Timur.

    Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi Tadhkirat al-sh.u lara Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi was the son of Amir Ala'uddawla Bakhtishah Isfarayini, one of Shahrukh's courtiers, and nephew of the powerful Amir Firozshah. Unlike his fore- bears, who "passed their time as aristocrats in ostentatiousness and opulence," Mir Dawlatshah, who was of a dervish bent and had some poetic talent, "sought seclusion and contented himself with a life of spiritual poverty and rustication to acquire learning and perfection."! At the age of fifty he began his Tadhkirat al-shu'ara (Memorial of poets), anecdotes about and short biographies of 150 Persian poets, ancient and modern, which he completed in 892/1487. The judgment of Mir Ali-Sher Nawa'i, to whom the work was dedicated, was that "anyone who reads it will realize the merit and talent of the compiler." Although the book deals primarily with poets, since poets generally were inextricably bound to royal patrons, it contains valuable anecdotal information on many pre- Timurid, Timurid and Turcoman rulers. The synopses of rulers' careers and anecdotes illustrative of their characters included by Dawlatshah are translated and given here. * SULTANUWAYS JALAYIR2 out of a greedy poet's house is a difficult task," and gave him the candlestick.

Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT From the earliest times, ancient Iranian myths and legends addressed the tradition of royal succession. As monarchical rule continued throughout pre- and post-Islamic history, succession remained an important component of affairs of the court. It was critical for kings to designate heirs to the throne if their legacy was to endure. However, as most Iranian dynasties were tribal in origin, succession of a ruling family was often attained after intense struggles with rivaling branches of the same tribe. Policies related to succession were developed in order to keep a balance between family members. The Qajars, who seized power as a tribe in 1786, also faced challenges with respect to the tradition of succession.
