The Tuzuk-i-Baburi, also known as the Baburnama, was written by Babur in Chagatai Turkish, the literary language of his homeland in Central Asia. The autobiography covers his childhood, political struggles, military campaigns, natural scenery, flora, fauna and personal emotions. It is admired for its honest tone and descriptive detail. Later, Akbar ordered a Persian translation, which increased its popularity. Baburnama remains a valuable historical source for understanding the early Mughal period and Babur’s personality.
