Explanation:

He didn’t want to. Babur had been driven away from his homelands of Ferghana and Samarkhand by the Persianised Uzbeks. From Babur’s perspective, Central Asia was lost and he remained ensconced at Kabul as the head of a petty kingdom, often facing minor local revolts from his generals and chiefs. He wanted to be more than that; after all, he was a Timurid.

For Babur, the only way towards survival against the encroaching Uzbeks was to ‘move’ to India. Babur had already considered his authority over the Punjab region as his Timurid birthright. His conquest into the heartland of North India was merely an extension of his imperial ambitions, which were fuelled by the ferocity and brutality of his Turco-Mongol heritage. Even before battling the Lodi forces at Panipat, Babur had raided the northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent and his army had come to skirmishes with those of the local lords.

Babur, however, never seemed to have lost the love for his Central Asian homeland and even though he laid the foundations for a soon-to-be powerful empire in South Asian - nay!, world - history, he didn’t like Hindustan very much.
