| Babur Mughal Ruler |
Babur was born in the Farghana Valley in a city called Andijan, which is now in Uzbekistan. He was the eldest son of his father Omar Sheikh Mirza, the ruler of the Fargana Valley, whom he described as a man of stout body, muscular face and round beard, and mother Kutlugh Nigar Khanam. Although Babur's origins were related to the Barlas clan of Mongolia, the people of that clan were heavily influenced by Persian and Ottoman life, they converted to Islam and made Turkestan their habitat.
