Description: The Baburnama (Memoirs of Babur) is the work of Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530), the founder of Mughal dynasty in India. Written in the form of a diary, Babur's memoirs are the first true autobiography in Islamic literature, and also of the medieval India. The Baburnama is one of the marvels of the medieval world. “It belongs to a handful of the world's literary works that can accurately be described as unique”(Amitav Ghosh). Written originally in Chagatai Turkic, a now extinct dialect of erstwhile Soviet Central Asia and the adjacent region of Chinese Turkestan or Xinjiang, and a language of Ural-Altaic group, Babur's style of writing was highly Persianized. The Memoires was later translated into Persian and illustrated during the reign of Babur's grandson Emperor Akbar.
