Babur was not content with ruling over the small kingdom of Farghana. He attacked Samarkand, but his uncles defeated him and he even lost his own kingdom Farghana. Thus, he became a wanderer. It was during this Period that he came to Kabul and captured it in 1504 and so came in touch with India whose wealth was a standing temptation. Babur had heard of the rich land called India and remembered his grandfather Timur's invasion of India. In 1517 and again in 1519, he swept down the Afghan plateau into the plains of India. He entered the Punjab in 1523 on the invitation of Daulat Khan Lodhi, the governor of the province, and 'Alam Khan, an uncle of Ibrahim Lodhi, the Delhi Sultan.

Sultan Ibrahim Lodi (1517-1526) was a cruel and arrogant king. Ala-ud-Din, the uncle of Ibrahim Lodi, and Daulat Khan Lodi, the Governor of the Punjab, invited Babur to India to crush Ibrahim Lodi.
