Even though Babur had immense respect for the Rajputs and other sturdy Indian fighters, he had a low opinion of India and her people. “Hindustan is a country of few charms. Its people have no good looks; of social intercourse, paying and receiving visits there is none; of genius and capacity none; of manners none; in handicraft and work, there is no form or symmetry, method or quality. There are no good horses, no good dogs, no grapes, musk melons or first-rate fruits, no ice or cold water, nor bread or cooked food in bazaars; no hamams, no colleges, no torches or candlesticks,” he wrote in theTuzuk-i-Baburi.


No wonder Babur Masjid was pulled down.
