CULTURAL DIPLOMACY DURING THE REIGN OF BABUR: THE ROLE OF ART AND LITERATURE

Abstract

Babur (1483–1530) – the founder of the Babur dynasty, went down
in history not only as a great commander and statesman, but also as a patron
of culture and literature. During his reign, art and literature became not
only an expression of cultural values, but also a political and diplomatic
tool. His cultural influence was noticeable even beyond the borders of
Babur's state. This article analyzes the role of art and literature in the
formation of cultural diplomacy during Babur's reign, their impact on
regional and international relations.
