INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mughals (also spelled Moghul or Mogul) are a number of culturally related clans of Indo-Turkic people in North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is claimed they are descended from the various Central Asian Mongolic and Turkic tribes and Persians that settled in the region.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Mughal empire is conventionally said to have been founded in 1526 by Babur, a warrior chieftain from what is today Uzbekistan, who employed aid from the neighboring Safavid and Ottoman empires, to defeat the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, in the First Battle of Panipat, and to sweep down the plains of North India.

Detailed explanation-3: -Refinement is the child of civilization, not its parent. The Mughals understood this point and regarded Persian culture as the epitome of refinement; ethnically Chagatai Turks from Central Asia, the Mughals wholeheartedly embraced Persian culture and adopted Persian as their language of court and administration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Ghaznavid conquests of the 11th century introduced Persian to the Indian subcontinent. As Mahmud of Ghazni established a power base in India, the centre of Persian literary patronage shifted from Ghazna to the Punjab, especially at the empire’s second capital Lahore.
