Delighted to see from India Today that people still like reading about Babur. Last year I returned to his homelands in Central Asia and spent time in fabulous Samarkand where his ancestor Timur’s buried.
Eighth place is held by Alex Rutherford’sEmpire of the Moghul: Raiders from the North. Published by Headline Review/ Hachette India is available for Rs. 495 / 299. This book was ninth position last month.

One of the best books i have read (Period).
i dont know why this is not more famous, something tells me if this book had been about someone from europe (read old british empire) we would all be watching a hollywood movie or HBO series.
I am an avid fan of “Song of ice and fire” but first 200 pages of this book gave me more thrills !
