Part One: The Young King
Above: Padshah Babur of the Timurid Empire
In the year 1504, the city of Samarkand was won back by a joint force of the Timurid and Safavid empires, who had successfully defeated the Shaybanids. The leader of these Timurids, a young man named Babur, literally meaning ‘the tiger’, was crowned the new Emir of Oxiana, and began to consolidate his power in the region.
That same year, Babur had conquered Kabul, a city that had been a centre of the Silk Road, forcing their king to move south. The next year, he finally conquered Herat, and Shaybani’s hopes were crushed.
In 1513, he began to conquer further, finally becoming the ruler of all Central Asia.
As Babur began to grow older, and as he began to conquer more and more, he would take up the title of Padshah, the emperor of the Timurid Empire.
And as for Hindustan? That was a dream away. Nobody had time to conquer them. At least not for a while.
