Quaere similia

Part 2: Babur, at age 13, wrote in the Baburnama about his feelings for a boy named Baburi: > “In those leisurely days, I discovered in myself a strange inclination — nay! as the verse says, ‘I maddened and afflicted myself’ — for a boy in the camp‑bazar, his very name, Bāburī, fitting in. Up till then I had had no inclination for anyone… From time to time Bāburi came to my presence but out of modesty I could never look straight at him… I got so confused that I almost went right off.” 💌📖👑 Note: this does not mean he was homosexual. Such feelings can be a normal part of teenage self-discovery. @googlefactss #Baburnama#Babur#MughalHistory#HistoricalFacts#LoveInHistory#Memoir#HonestWriting
