What to Focus On

  • Babur founded the Mughal Empire.

  • He defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526.
  • Humayun succeeded Babur in December 1530 at age 23.

  • He took Chunar in 1538.
  • Sher Shah's original name was Farid Khan.
  • He became Sher Khan after killing a tiger.
  • He became Sher Shah after becoming ruler of Bengal and Bihar.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Babur became ruler in India only after defeating Rana Sanga in 1527.

The First Battle of Panipat was won mainly because Babur had a larger army.

Babur was already an emperor from childhood and did not inherit any throne early in life.
