Babur invaded Hindustan in 1526 primarily due to his desire to expand his territory and establish a strong empire in India. Discontent with the political fragmentation in the region and the decline of the Delhi Sultanate, he aimed to capitalize on the weakness of local rulers, particularly Ibrahim Lodi. Additionally, Babur sought to fulfill his ancestral legacy by reclaiming lands associated with his heritage and establishing a foothold in the rich Indian subcontinent. His successful victory at the First Battle of Panipat marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire in India.
