Babar, the founder of Mughal dynasty in India was an unusual character of his times. A poet, writer and a free soul, he was so modern and some would say post-modern in an era otherwise categorised as medieval. I was delighted to find this piece authored by Ashfaque Naqvi.
An interesting book has landed at my table. As the title, Zaheeruddin Muhammad Babar, is about the person who laid the foundations of the Mughal Empire in the sub-continent. Written by the eminent Indian educationist, Qamar Rais, it gives a different picture of the man from what we gather about him from his self-written, Tozak-i-Babri…..
As Prof Qamar Rais says in the foreword, he had for long been studying the works of Ali Sher Nawai and such other classical poets of Uzbekistan but realized during his stay in that country that those people revered Babar more for being an intellectual and a lyrical poet. In fact, even during the Soviet era, he saw Babar’s pictures hung in most homes showing him holding a book and sunk in deep thought. As a consequence, he directed his studies in that field.
… even today, Babar is held in esteem and considered

thanks
thanks for your precious comments here
welcome friends
Keep a smile on your face and let your personality be your autograph.
People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.
If you haven’t seen your wife smile at a traffic cop, you haven’t seen her smile her prettiest.
A smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
I soon found easier ways to earn money. I started making
velvet bookmarks with customized designs and sold them at
school. After a Sunday fishing trip with my brother and Dad,
I took a crayfish to school for "show and tell" and promptly
sold it to a boy in my class. Unfortunately, when he put it in
the aquarium at home, his sister watched in horror as the crayfish
immediately snipped off the tails of her goldfish and dined
on their helpless bodies. A few days later, he brought the crayfish
back in for "show and tell," this time laid out in a match
box, its stiffened form shellacked for all eternity.
thanks dear ayesha
