About the lecture
Zahir al-Din Muhammad Babur (1483-1530) founded the Mughal or Timurid-Mughal
Empire of India in 1526. Babur was portrayed by court historians, not only as a
successful conqueror and empire builder, but also as a skilled poet, musician
and prose writer. Italians might have described him as a l'uomo universale, a
universal, or in later English parlance, a Renaissance Man. Yet what
distinguishes Babur from other pre-modern rulers is not so much that he
possessed diverse interests but rather that he bequeathed to posterity a
remarkable literary legacy. His writings allow him to be seen as an individual,
a complex, emotional man whose unapologetic egotism, intellectual curiosity and
ruthlessness reveal human traits that some equate with the dynamism of the
Italian Renaissance personalities or even the human spirit that explains the
Rise of the West in Renaissance times. If the Italian goldsmith and sculptor,
Benvenuto Cellini can be characterized as the most completely revealed
individual in sixteenth century Europe, Babur deserves the same recognition for
all of Asia. And more than Babur's wide-ranging accomplishments and interests,
it is as an individual whose spirit and intellect are indistinguishable from
Western individuals such as Cellini, that he can be described and deserves to
be known as a Renaissance Man.
