shansha babar's other son were in their repectIVE kingdoms granted by humayu to rule independently Under mughal flag ACCORDING TO THEIR FATHER will.
sultan mirza kamran was rulling kabul.
his real brother sultan mirza askari was ruling kandhar .
youngest and apple of babar eyes..sultan mirza hindal was in gazni
none of humayuu brother was intended to help him in these hard times
kamran mirza was most cunning, greedy .
askari had a weak personality ...he was totally in influence of his elder brother kamran.
both of them think that now humayu lost hindustan he must be wanted to get back babar initial terotary from them.
Hindal mirza was the favorite of his father ...most handsome, courageous wise and warrior among his brothers but right now he believed that humayu lost his empire due to his over superstious nature. he was not greedy of power but under certain circumstaces he was bound to think tht humayu is not capable to take care of such huge reponsibility ...according to him his edler brother was not worthy king.
and lastly ... humuyu the eldest brother
who was very superstious ... dont take any step without zodiac signals...
very kind heartened and forgiving which is usually not wise for king ... not much courageous and not a goood administrator and nor a great warrior off course ... but he was a good man for sure ..
