Question

Babur belonged to the lineage of ______ from his father’s side and ______ from his mother’s side.

Answer 1

Babur belonged to the lineage of Timur from his father’s side and Genghis Khan from his mother’s side.

Explanation:

His Timurid roots gave him the right to reign over the Persianate realm and Central Asia, and his Chinggisid (Mongol) heritage offered the ultimate “imperial” status, as Genghis Khan’s successors were seen as the only legitimate rulers in much of Asia.
