Summary
In December 1525, Babur, the great grandson of the Mongol conqueror Tamberlaine, crossed the Indus River into the Punjab with a modest army and some cannon. At the Battle of Panipat five months later, he routed the mammoth army of the Afghan ruler of Hindustan. Mughal rule in India had begun. It was to continue for over three centuries, shaping India for all time. Full of dramatic episodes and colourful detail, The Mughal Throne tells the story of one of the world’s great empires.
