A History of Agriculture in India v2.c67.s4: The Battle of Khanua

v2.c67.s4.1

Babur defeated Rana Sangha in the battle of Khanua on 16 March 1527, captured the fort of Chanderi on 29 January 1528, and humbled the Afghans in the battle of Gogra on 6 May 1529. Now he was master of northern India. He died on 26 December 1530 at the age of forty-seven years, ten months and eleven days after an illness of more than six months. Thus ended a stormy career which culminated in the founding of Mughal dynasty which enormously enriched the cultural life of India. The Mughals gave India new architecture, terraced gardens with flowing water, and a new style of painting.
