Babur is not first Muslim ruler, first battle of panipat was 1527 (or near that year), he fought against Delhi Sultanate, which is already Muslim.
Babur was king of Fergana Valley, and half-turkic and half-mongol, who lost his kingdom because of logistic blunder and was invited to India by a Prince and thus started his campaign in South Asia.
He did destroy a Temple (which already survived about 5 centuries of Islamic rulers) and built the mosque, the mosque was not being used since 1949 or so, and Hindus were praying on the grounds since mid-80s.
- tacomonstrous 10y agoHe was certainly the first Muslim ruler to be termed an 'emperor' by historians, so I'm not sure what you're arguing.
- sremani 10y agoIf you want to say, Babur was first Muslim Emperor of India, bring the argument with references. Tuglak had bigger Empire than Babur, and he was well into Deccan and even moved the capital there. This was 200 years before Babur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Tughluq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Tughluq I am not arguing here, I am correcting mis-representations made in his comment.
