Mughal history

The Mughal Empire was a powerful dynasty that ruled much of India from the early 16th to the mid-18th century. It was founded by Babur, a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan, who established a strong centralized kingdom. The Mughals brought cultural, architectural, and artistic achievements, blending Persian, Indian, and Islamic influences. Prominent emperors like Akbar promoted tolerance and unity, while later rulers faced internal strife and external invasions. The empire declined due to political fragmentation and European colonization, ultimately ending in the mid-19th century with the British conquest. The Mughals left a lasting legacy evident in India’s heritage and monuments like the Taj Mahal.
