India: The inhabitants of Osh (Ūsh) drive the enemy out with sticks and clubs to defend the town for Babur. Miniature painting from the Baburnama, late 16th century. Bāburnāma (literally: 'Book of Babur' or 'Letters of Babur'; alternatively known as Tuzk-e Babri) is the name given to the memoirs of Ẓahīr ud-Dīn Muḥammad Bābur (1483-1530), founder of the Mughal Empire and a great-great-great-grandson of Timur. It is an autobiographical work, originally written in the Chagatai language, known to Babur as 'Turki' (meaning Turkic), the spoken language of the Andijan-Timurids.
