"Again and again in his memoirs(Baburnama) he demonstrates a belief that defeated enemies must be conciliated rather than antagonized if they are to be ruled effectively afterwards, and that one's own followers must be prevented by rigid discipline from victimizing the local population. It was a belief which would play an important part in the great days of the Moghul empire"
A brief history of
THE GREAT MOGHULS flamboyant rulers by Bamber Gascoigne (with photographs by Christina Gascoigne

Its a beautiful book to know about the great kings of Moghul empire.( I read the introduction and first 30 pages of the book).
How Babur as a teenage came to the throne and being driven by fate gone many hardships, failures , successes and again failures. How he failed thrice to win Samarkand which led him to focus towards the east which ended in winning India.
We will get a picture of prince always roaming around his territory seeking new land to reign.
The quotation at the beginning is a mark of his statesmanship and empire building abilities. We can still gather much wisdom from him..
