Explanation
Assertion (A) is correct because Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, wrote his autobiography, Tuzk-e-Babri (also known as Baburnama), in Chagatai Turki, which was his native language. Reason (R) is incorrect because the official language of the Mughal Court and administration was Persian (Farsi), not Turki. Although the Mughals were of Central Asian Turkic origin, they adopted Persian for governance, law, and high culture. It was during Akbar's reign that the Baburnama was translated from Turki into Persian by Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana to ensure its integration into the court's literary tradition. Thus, while Babur personally wrote in Turki, it was never the official language of the Mughal state.
