Answer:babur ,great-grandson of tamerlane, conquered northwestern india,founding the mughal empire and allowing Islam to continue to grow in India. He identified no as india,though. He identified as timurid,or turkic,like tamerlane.
Explanation:Babur conquered India but did not think it could compare to his home, near Andijan in modern-day Uzbekistan. He described Hindustan as "a country with few charms," keeping his people happy and letting them know that their culture was supreme. This helped keep morale high after the victory even if later successors would promote religious tolerance in these acquired territories.
He seemed to overlook the horses native to India and emphasize the wealth available in India when he said: "There are no good horses, no good dogs, no grapes, muskmelons or good fruits, no ice or cold water, no bread or cooked food in the markets, no hot baths, no colleges, no candles, torches or candle sticks. In places of candle and torch they keep lamp-men to carry oil-lamps from place to place...Pleasant things of Hindustan are that it is a large country and has masses of gold and silver." He clearly had in mind the commodities that would be available to him now that he had conquered India.
