Manas: History and Politics, Babar (482 words) |
 | Though it was Babar's dream to rule Central Asia and capture Samarqand, he had fierce opposition from Persians and the Afghans. |
| Babar invaded the Lodi-governed Punjab several times from his capital at Kabul before winning a decisive victory. |
| Babar appears not to have been enamored of Delhi and India, and in recent years his name has been mired in controversy. |
| Babar's enduring appeal - The Boston Globe (741 words) |
| BABAR, the storybook elephant created by the artist Jean de Brunhoff, reached the venerable age of 75 this year. |
| I pulled it out of storage the other day and was once again captivated by the simple plot: Babar is living idyllically in the jungle with his mother, until she is killed by a hunter. |
| Perhaps Babar's quick recovery from his mother's death and his success in both the city and the elephants' country offer young readers hope that they, too, can master their new environments. |
