The foundation of the Mughal empire in Hindustan was laid by Zahir-ud-din-Muhammad Babur (1483-1530 CE) in 1526 CE. At that time, Ibrahim Lodhi (reign 1517-1526 CE) was ruling from his throne in Delhi. To put an end to his power, Babur launched many attacks on Hindustan. The Panjab (divided between India and Pakistan since 1947 CE) was used as a battlefield in these attacks. Under the command of Babur, his troops plundered and destroyed several towns of Panjab. Babur has also mentioned this in his memoir ‘Baburnama.’
