ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the Persian Baburnama, a key primary source and the earliest record of Babur's memoirs. It provides a fresh treatment to the source material and highlights vivid accounts of the historical events of the time. The paintings are divided thematically, offering a unique and rare perspective into the Mughal world. Some of the Babur's Turkish and Mughal officers had raised the banner of revolt in 1527. Babur resolved to attack on the strongholds of Rajputs, marched against Chanderi, on the southeast of Malwa, then under the rule of Medni Rao, one of the distinguished lieutenants of Rana Sangram Singh and reached Chanderi on 20 January 1528. The battle of Panipat temporarily ruined Afgha's dominion and ended their power. But they returned to power after Babur's death, and the career of Sher Shah afforded ample evidence of this in the days of Babur's successor, Humayun.
