Question

Identify the Mughals and describe their cultural legacy

Answer 1

The term Moghul, also spelled Mughals or Mogul, is a cognate to Mongol (cf. “Mongolia”) and refers to descendants of a group known as the Timurids, a group that once inhabited the central Asian area of Mongolia that was famously controlled by Ghengis Khan. They are linguistically related to the Turks, but assimilated Persian culture and the Islamic religion, which they carried to India. Muslim groups first began to acquire areas of northern India, and had established themselves in Delhi by the 12th century. In 1526, Babur the Mughal, a descendant of Genghis Khan, conquered Punjab and began what is known as the Mughal Empire. Culturally, it brought administrative practices, art, architecture and literature, as well as Islam, to India. It is also known for its influence on Indian cooking.
