Babur Conquers Bengal

1528

The Mughal emperor Babur, still consolidating his grip on Hindustan barely two years after Panipat, dispatched forces eastward into the humid river country of Bengal. The sultanate there crumbled with surprising speed. Babur's diary, the Baburnama, records his disgust with the climate and his wonder at the fertility of a land that could feed empires without trying.
