ICSE Class 7 Answered

Babur was an excellent military general. He kept himself informed of all the technological advancements which were made in the military field. He was perhaps the first ruler to use artillery in India. He defeated large armies with his superior military skills. He not only defeated Ibrahim Lodi but also the Rajputs and the Afghans.

Babur was an exceptional writer. He wrote his memoirs in Turkish which form an invaluable source of the history of that period.

Though Babur was an orthodox Sunni Muslim, he was not a fanatic. He restricted the powers of the ulemas and followed a policy of religious tolerance towards the people of other religions.

He was the founder of Mughal rule in India. He annexed many territories in India. He was not able to consolidate his territories and failed to set up an efficient administrative system.
