In Ered Luin, Bombur and his family live in an incredibly small one bedroom home behind their bakery. The children, Tolli and Babur, sleep in a linen clauset they'd repurposed into bunk beds. The arrangement worked for now but Bombur and Frolli were acutely aware the kids would soon outgrow this space.

The prospect of having a bigger home for his kids to grow up in is one of the factors that contributed to Bombur going on the quest for Erebor

Babur and his army emerge from the Khwaja Didar Fort during his war with his nemesis, Shaybani Khan, from a Bāburnāma manuscript, c. 1590. British Museum (ID: 2000,0616,0.1) Babur is depicted mounted on a fully armoured horse, leading his cavalry as they ride out from the fortress of Khwaja Didar, where he had spent the winter of 1497. Behind him, a drummer sits astride a camel, while another attendant leans forward to shade Babur with a parasol. In the left foreground, broken arrows signal that the engagement with Shaybani Khan and the Uzbek forces is already underway. The fort is encircled by red brick walls and crenellated ramparts, and within its precincts stand a domed tomb, along with assorted buildings, pavilions, and canopies. This scene forms the left-hand page of a double-page composition; the right-hand page depicts Shaybani Khan and his Uzbeks being driven back toward Samarkand, now also in the British Museum’s collection. The Bāburnāma, also known as the Tuzk-e Babri, is the name given to the memoirs of Ẓahīr ud-Dīn Muḥammad, known as Babur (1483–1530), founder of the Mughal Empire and a great-great-great-grandson of Tamerlane.

It is an autobiographical work written in Chagatai, a language Babur referred to as turki (meaning Turkic) and spoken by the Andijan-Timurids. Babur’s prose is heavily Persianized in sentence structure, syntax, and vocabulary, and also includes numerous short phrases and poems in Persian. During the reign of the emperor Akbar, the work was translated in its entirety into Persian by the Mughal courtier Abdur Rahim in 998 AH (1589–1590). The work can easily be regarded as one of the greatest autobiographies ever written, sublime in its linguistic elegance, and endlessly entertaining with its numerous stories, filled with wit and a remarkable level of self-awareness.

TRIBE OF THE DAY: Babur tribe

The origin of Bura-Pabir people can be traced back to the migrants from Yemen through Sudan and the Chad Basin to the present Bura-Pabir location, Northeastern part of Nigeria.[5] However, in the mid-16th century Yamta-ra-Wala defeated the Bura people and established Biu kingdom.[6] Due to the intermarriage between Yamta Wala's people and the Bura people, a new breed of ethnic group called Bura-Pabir or Babur (in Hausa) was created and till today, Bura and Pabir' culture are very similar to the extent that they are regarded as one.

The traditional ruler of Bura-Pabir people is locally called Kuthli or Kuhyi, and now an emir since the kingdom became an emirate. Since they are the major occupants of Biu Kingdom, their current ruler is Mai Mustapha Umar Mustapha II. He assumed office on September 21, 2020. Emir of Biu Kingdom.

Out of all the points people use to defend the mughals- the "india enjoyed the highest gdp under mughal rule!🥺 it was overflowing with wealth"- will always be the funniest. Bcs even if it was true- it does not erase the mughal attrocities! It does not erase the fact thst hindus were burdened with jizya, targetted and killed.

"Highest Gdp" MY ASS!

Also the "highest GDP under Mughals" is a myth, which, if I recall correctly, was propelled by Shashi Tharoor. The narrative that India accounted for about 23% of the world's GDP during Mughal era but after British rule the share plummeted to mere 3% is central in the book An Era of Darkness. He quotes economic historians such as Angus Maddison to support his claims about pre-colonial economic dominance. First of all, the demerit of Tharoor's claim is that focusing solely on a large share of global GDP without accounting for population size is an elementary mistake in economic reasoning. A large country can have a significant share of the world economy even with a poor populace. India had a high GDP simply because our population was much bigger thanks to our fertile soil.

Moreover, India's large share of global GDP began to decline even before British rule took full effect, because India already lagged behind in naval supremacy, hence it couldn't dominate in trading. Yes, the British did largely de-industrialise India, but it is also true that Mughals had drained India of its wealth and resources, which is why martial and scientific innovation could not reach its zenith. India was using advanced printing press in pressing patterns to textiles which were exported rather than printing books. Also, Tharoor overlooks the fact that rapid industrialisation of Britain and other European powers quickly overrode India's GDP despite having smaller populations because the industrial output of Europe beat the output of India. Lastly, the modern concept and calculation of GDP did not exist in the Mughal era, making any figures an estimation.

I also want to add that historical sources indicate that Babur transferred significant amounts of wealth out of India following his conquest, primarily to support his projects in Central Asia. He viewed India largely as a resource base to fund his original Timurid homeland. This is all recorded in Baburnama. So yeah, Fuck mughals and Fuck firangis.

Babur: Everything'd gonna be fine. It's just. a crush.

Baburi: *waves*

Babur:

Also it's so funny (and nice) how open he was about his boycrush like bro really said "I want the historians to not even have an OUNCE of doubt about my feelings towards this man. I'll rise back to life and kill them if they ever call this "friendship" or some shit in the future I swear!" XD

Why do I feel like he was there dying and getting decomposed in the soil and then there was Baburi who was probably oblivious or something

Babur was literally screaming about his boyfriend 😭😭😭 “HES LOVE MY LOVE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AISHDDB”

And the historians still managed to fuck up 💀💀 but won't matter cuz most people know the truth that they were gae

Basawan and Suraj Gujrati. Illustration from Baburnama or Memoirs of Babur, ca. 183-1530.

Baburnama is an autobiographical account by Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur, a descendant of Timur and the first Mughal king of India. The miniatures are from an illustrated copy of the Baburnama prepared for the author's grandson, the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar’s commissions were divided up among teams of artists working at the court, and often two painters collaborated on a single image, in addition to the calligraphers. This particular illustration is attributed to Basawan, responsible for the composition and the drawing, and Suraj Gujarati, who painted it. The miniatures reflect the culture of the Mughal court at Delhi, and are important as evidence of the tradition of exquisite miniature painting which developed at the court of Timur and his successors. Timurid miniatures are among the greatest artistic achievements of the Islamic world in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
