Beveridge) 936.2.1 - **Language:** English ### [936.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2.1) The Kāshgharīs were thus placed in the difficulty that the fort was occupied by Bābur's representative, and that the snows would prevent their return home across the mountains till winter was past. Winter-quarters were needed and asked for by Ḥaidar, certain districts being specified in which to await the re-opening of the Pāmīr routes. He failed in his request, "They did not trust us," he writes, "indeed suspected us of deceit." His own account of Sa\`īd's earlier invasion of Badakhshān (925 AH.-1519 AD.) during Khān Mīrzā's rule, serves to explain Badakhshī distrust of Kāshgharīs. Failing in his negotiations, he scoured and pillaged the country round the fort, and when a few days later the Khān arrived, his men took what Ḥaidar's had left. - [Previous: 936.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1.8) - [Next: 936.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2.2) - [Up: 936.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2.1) · Pramāṇa
