SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Bhira

Babur made four preliminary expeditions into India between 1519 and 1524, before the decisive First Battle of Panipat in 1526. His first incursion in 1519 was directed against Bhira (a town in the Salt Range region in present-day Punjab, Pakistan), which he captured before pushing further to Sialkot and Lahore in subsequent campaigns.

Panipat (1526) was the climactic battle, not his first conquest.

Hence the correct answer is Bhira.
