A proposito di questo titolo

This episode explores Babur's relationship with Afghanistan—not as a Mughal invader, but as a king of Kabul and Kandahar. We trace his early struggles after losing Samarkand, his decision to base himself in Kabul in 1504, and how Afghanistan became the staging ground for his conquest of India. We discuss his memoirs, the Baburnama, which offer vivid details of Afghan life, and the strategic importance of the Khyber and Bolan Passes. We also examine his complex alliances with the Lodi dynasty and why he ultimately turned his sights on Hindustan. Key figures include Babur, his uncle Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara, and the Lodi sultan Ibrahim. We touch on the city of Kandahar as a Mughal-Qizilbash contest and the significance of the Hindu Kush. Finally, we consider how Babur's legacy in Afghanistan shaped later Mughal policy and why he chose to be buried in Kabul.
