Question

22. How did the Mongol invasions of Tamerlane and Babur affect Indian culture?

Answer 1

A. Buddhist nonviolence ended campaigns of conquest.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "B".

Babur was the first emperor of the Mughal Dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent. He was the son of "Timur the Great", also known as Tamerlane.

Even though his mother was from Mongolia, he was not close to this group of people. When he invaded the Indian subcontinent, he was considered as a "Mughal" by the locals. The result of this sympathy towards the Indian people resulted in a blend of customs in that region.
