The correct answer is (b). Babar assumed the title of âPadshahâ first at Kabul.
Babur was born in Ferghana in 1483. He was the son of Umar Shaikh Mirza, the ruler of Ferghana, and Khanzada Begum, the daughter of Miran Shah, the second Timurid ruler of Central Asia. Babar’s father died when he was only nine years old, and he was forced to flee Ferghana after his uncle, Ahmed Khan, seized power.
Babar spent the next several years wandering through Central Asia, trying to regain his lost kingdom. In 1504, he finally succeeded in capturing Kabul, which he made his capital. He then began to expand his territory, conquering the neighboring provinces of Kandahar and Ghazni.
In 1526, Babar invaded India. He defeated the Lodhi dynasty at the Battle of Panipat and became the first Mughal emperor. He ruled India for five years until his death in 1530.
Babar was a great military leader and a skilled administrator. He was also a poet and a writer. His memoirs, the Baburnama, are considered to be one of the most important works of literature in the Persian language.
The other options are incorrect because Babar did not assume the title of âPadshahâ at those places.
(a) Farghana: Babar was born in Ferghana, but he did not assume the title of âPadshahâ there.
(c) Delhi: Babar conquered Delhi in 1526, but he did not assume the title of âPadshahâ there. He assumed the title of âPadshahâ at Kabul in 1504.
(d) Samarkand: Samarkand was the capital of the Timurid Empire, and it was ruled by Babar’s cousin, Muhammad Shaybani Khan. Babar never ruled Samarkand, and he did not assume the title of âPadshahâ there.
