Q. In which language did Babar wrote his Autobiography?
(a) Farsee
(b) Arabi
(c) Turki
(d) None of these
Ans: (c) Turki
Explanation: The correct answer is (c) Turki.
Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, wrote his autobiography in the Chagatai Turkic language, which is often referred to as “Turki.” The title of his autobiography is “Baburnama” or “Tuzk-e-Babri.”
Babur wrote his autobiography over a period of several years, documenting his life, conquests, experiences, and observations. The Baburnama provides valuable insights into his reign, military campaigns, and the political landscape of his time.
The Chagatai Turkic language used by Babur was a regional variant of the Turkic language family, spoken by the Chagatai Khanate, which Babur hailed from. It was a literary language used by the Central Asian Turkic peoples.
Babur’s choice to write his autobiography in Turki showcased his cultural background and linguistic affinity, as well as the influence of the literary traditions of his homeland.
Therefore, Babur wrote his autobiography, the Baburnama, in the Turki (Chagatai Turkic) language.
