India: Zahir ud-din Muhammad Babur (1483-1531), the first Mughal Emperor, hunting deer near Kabul. Miniature painting from the Babur-namah, c. 1590. Zahir ud-din Muhammad Babur was a Muslim conqueror from Central Asia who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty of South Asia. He was a direct descendant of Timur through his father, and a descendant also of Genghis Khan through his mother. Babur identified his lineage as Timurid and Chaghatay-Turkic, while his origin, milieu, training, and culture were steeped in Persian culture.
