what were the resons of Babur success in the battle of Panipat
Answers
1. Scientific Combination of Cavalry and Artillery:
Firstly, the victory of Babur was due to the Scientific Combination of cavalry and artillery. The effective use of mobile cavalry and the skill with which Ustad Ali and Mustafa, two great Turkish gunners, fought in the field of Panipat were also important factors which contributed towards Babur's victory. Rushbrook Williams writes. "If it could be possible to emphasize any one of the factors as being the most important cause of his (Babur's) victory, one would surely have to assign the first place to his artillery."
2. Disunity:
The Indian Rulers did not visualize any eventuality beyond the borders of their kingdoms and could not stand unitedly to face a threat on India from outside. Babur defeated them one by one, captured their kingdoms, and became their overlord.
3. Babur's Personality:
One of the biggest cause of Babur's victory was also his impressive personality. He did not lose heart even in most critical times. He had the capacity to infuse spirit in the dead bodies with his lively speech. He was a born general and was fully conversant with all the tactcs of war.
