Consider the following statements: Statement 1. Babur was of Mongol and Timurid descent and founded the Mughal Empire after defeating Ibrahim Lodi. Statement 2. Babur was overthrown by Sher Shah and later succeeded by his grandson Akbar. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Only 1
Statement 1: Babur descended from Timur on his father's side and from Genghis Khan (the Mongols) on his mother's side. He defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526 and founded the Mughal Empire. Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2: Babur was never overthrown by Sher Shah. Babur died in 1530 and was succeeded by his son Humayun. It was Humayun whom Sher Shah defeated at Chausa (1539) and Kannauj (1540). Akbar was Babur's grandson, but he succeeded Humayun, not Babur. Statement 2 is incorrect.
Hence, the answer is: Only 1.
