Answers
Babur was 12 when he wore the throne of Fergana and faced great challenges. He won the battle and conquered Samarkand two years later losing the city of Fergana. When he returned to Fergana so as to conquer the entire city, he lost his complete control over Samarkand. In this way, he lost the city of Samarkand three times.
After losing Samarkand third time, Babur turned his attention to creating his empire in the north of India. During that part of the time, the north of India was ruled by Ibrahim Lodi from the Lodi dynasty whereas Rajputana was ruled by a Hindu Rajput family led by Rana Sangha of Mewar. At that time, a golden opportunity came to Babur to establish his empire.
In 1524, Daulat Khan Lodi, an anti-party of Lodi dynasty invited Babur to overthrow Ibrahim Lodi and become ruler of northern India. Babur won the first battle of Panipat defeating Ibrahim Lodi in the year 1526 and founded the Mughal emperor by becoming the first ruler ever. He fought many battles and won for his modern techniques and a huge number of soldiers that fought for him without any fear or anxiety.
