Q. Which of the following introduced a new mode of warfare which led to the popularisation of gun powder, cavalry, and artillery in India?
Answer: Babur
Notes: Babur, the first Mughal emperor, revolutionized Indian warfare by introducing gunpowder, cavalry, and artillery. His use of matchlock guns and cannons at the 1526 First Battle of Panipat was groundbreaking. He employed Ottoman tactics like Tulughma and Araba formations, enhancing artillery effectiveness. His memoirs, the Baburnama, outline his military strategies, including mobile cavalry and strategic fortifications, influencing future tactics in India.
