Wait so these people invaded and took over India? For what reason - Land? Religion? Feuds? And it seems like they were displacing another Islamic colonial power that was already there? Weird to have this article discuss battles but skim over the context.

- dartharva 6mo agoThe Mughals were of Turkic descent but were not Turco-Mongol nomads. Steppe nomad culture had died out for a long time before Babur's rise.
- dartharva 6mo agoIs there ever a singular reason behind why conquerors conquer? Babur conquered and established an empire because there was an empire to be conquered and established. That reason in itself is enough.
