abstract:Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur (14 February 148326 December 1530; sometimes also spelt Baber or Babar) was a conqueror from Central Asia who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor. He was a claimed to be direct descendant of Timur, from the Barlas clan, through his father, and a descendant also of Genghis Khan through his mother.
Earlier this year Uzbekistan banned Valentine's day and introduced plans instead to commemorate the medieval emperor and poet, Babur, who became the first Mughal emperor and was born on 14 February.
