In the fourteenth and fifteenth century gun powder was used for military purpose in India and even artillery in its rudimentary form was known. The Babur's first real expedition took place in India in 1519 when he captured Bhera. The Delhi Sultanate's greatest contribution to Indian fine arts was the introduction of Islam ic architectural features, including true domes and arches, and the integration of Indian and Islamic styles of architecture. The Timurid dynasty was a Sunni Muslim dynasty. Members of the Timurid dynasty were strongly influenced by the Persian culture and had established two well-known empires in history, namely the Timurid Empire (1370-1507) in Persia and Central Asia and the Mughal Empire (1526-1857) in the Indian subcontinent.

Consider the following:The arrival of Babur into India led to theI. In...
Introduction
The question discusses the impact of Babur's arrival into India on various aspects of the subcontinent. The options list three possible outcomes and require selecting the correct one(s).
Answer
The correct answer is option 'B,' i.e., III only. Babur's arrival into India led to the establishment of the Timurid dynasty in the region. This event occurred in the year 1526, and it marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire. Babur's victory over the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, at the Battle of Panipat paved the way for the Mughals to rule over India for the next three centuries.
While Babur's arrival did not directly lead to the introduction of gunpowder in the subcontinent, it did play a role in the spread of firearms technology in India. Babur's army used firearms and artillery in the Battle of Panipat, which helped him secure victory. However, gunpowder and firearms were already present in India before Babur's arrival. The arch and dome were also present in the region's architecture before Babur's arrival. The use of these architectural features became more prominent during the Mughal era, which followed Babur's reign.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Babur's arrival into India led to the establishment of the Timurid dynasty in the region, which marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire. While his victory at the Battle of Panipat played a role in the spread of firearms technology, it did not directly lead to the introduction of gunpowder in the subcontinent. The use of the arch and dome in the region's architecture also predated Babur's arrival.
