Mir Baqi

Mir Baqi

Mir Baqi Tashqandi (Hindi: मीर बाक़ी ताशक़न्दी, Urdu:میر باقی تاشقندی), also known as Mir Banki[1] was a Mughal nobleman of medieval India, during the reign of the first Mughal emperor, Babur. He was the governor of the then province of Awadh. In 1528, he had the Babri Mosque constructed in Ayodhya, which later became the focal point of the Babri Masjid - Ram Janmabhoomi dispute.[2] He was a Shia Muslim by religious affiliation.[3]

As Babar's conquest of North India progressed to Awadh after the Battle of Panipat, Mir Baqi was instrumental in helping the fledgling Mughal empire subdue and pacify the region, and was appointed by Babar to replace the pre-Mughal governor of Awadh, Shaikh Bayazid, who fled.[4]
