Even the British couldn't dare to execute the Mughal emperor and exiled him only after things took a really bad turn.

I largely agree but I think there's room for a bit of passion. It's important to understand why people are so passionate and angry about historical issues so we can try to solve them going forward, even if their passions are misplaced.
For those who want a "Game of Mughals", there's a series called Siyasat, it is quite a good portrayal of politics, internal conflicts and social dynamics of personal lives of Mughal emperors.
Babur was supported by an Indian warlord Rana Sangam Singh of Mewer . Rana Invited him to defect the Lodhi's but Babur took advantage of the power vacuum and ill-equipped Subcontinental army .First defected Babur than Rana Sanga and led to the foundation of Mughal empire .
hardly an emperor, he was always on the run. read more accurate history. he did not even defeated rana sanga as the historians describe, for next 3 years of the battle of khanwa, he dare not attack Rana Sanga's domain, rather he advanced to other eastern states of the country. He was also a coward who usually never fought in the battles till he got sure that the victory was at hand. He always surrounded himself with a personal contingent. Regarding an emperor, he (and his predecessors) could never again win their own land back, besides the most important factor an emperor should have is direct control of a vast land (neither he or his predecessors did), peace was almost non-existent, never worked for the betterment of local populace (an emperor has to be working on that is a must), technically he was just exploiting. Different people have different theory of emperor, as the topic is babur, he was never an emperor. Also, in Islam, anybody could declare himself caliph, he was not even a caliph, how could he be an emperor. the whole idea is shi*.

The Mughals didn't use to call themselves the "Mughals" during their reign. They use to call themselves Gurkani. They were named Mogul by the British, and later the local accents pronounced it as Mughal. Their real name during their reign was Gurkani. Which means the son in laws (of Ghengis Khan). From Wikipedia: "Gurkani" means "son-in-law" (of Genghis Khan). The nomenclature Mughal Empire is of English origin and not the name by which the empire was known then or designated.

A note....North East India was never captured by the Mughal empire. The Mughal invasion in Assam was defeated by the great Assamese/Ahom general Lachit Borphukon..
It's questionable to say that the Mughals were "a Persianized Turko-Mongol Warrior aristocracy" for their entire rule. They weren't really all that Turko-Mongol after the second generation; Humayun's mother may have been Iranian, and Akbar's mother certainly was. As Epimetheus mentioned, Akbar's successor had a Rajput mother, and married a Rajput princess himself. So, in terms of lineage, their third ruler was at least as Persian as Turko-Mongol, and after that his descendants were more Indian than anything. In terms of culture, meanwhile, they didn't really have a lot of holdovers from their Turko-Mongol ancestors after Akbar, and became much more culturally Indo-Persian.
Though not Mongol himself, Timur himself had sought to enhance the legitimacy of his rule by assuming the mantle of the line of Chaghatai Khan, with whom he claimed kinship. He had adopted the title of Gurkan (son-in-law) in reference to his marriage to Tukul Khanum, whose father was directly related to Chaghatai Khan and additionally installed a puppet king from the Chaghatid clan on the throne. Quite appropriately therefore Babur, Humayun and Akbar saw themselves first and foremost as princes of the great house of Timur (1336 - 1405), who had conquered vast tracts of territory in Central Asia and even sacked Delhi in 1398. Additionally they traced their ancestry even further back to the Mongol warrior Chenggiz Khan (1167 - 1227), who had upon his death, divided his vast Mongol empire among his four sons, a crucial event later illustrated by Akbar's artists. Mughalistan (including the western Tarim Basin and Kashgar) and Transoxania were bestowed upon his second son Chaghatai Khan (d. 1242). When these two wings of dominion were split up late in the thirteenth century, Transoxania in the west became the scene of mass conversion to Islam and a great deal of intermarriage with Turkic tribes people before it eventually fell to Timur, a Barlas Turk. Timur's descendants had ruled Transoxania until they succumbed to the forces of the Shaibanid Turks in 1508- 9. dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/54413/33337527-MIT.pdf?sequence=2 Agra’s Mughal riverfront gardens date from the conquest in 1526 of the Chagatai Turkic prince Babur, descendant of Emperor Timur on his father’s side and the Mongol Emperor Genghis Khan on his mother’s. mittalsouthasiainstitute.harvard.edu/2016/03/lost-found-toward-a-living-heritage/ The Timurid dynasty was founded in 1370 by the Turkic warlord Temür, usually known in the west as Tamerlane (Temür the lame).

Fascinating! This is a period that I can claim to know a little about, and I'm simply awed that you cover pretty much all in 10 minutes. I enjoyed it very much. To answer you, while you are of course right about Turkic genealogical origins I believe the Mughals themselves would have answered that were Uzbek; given Babar's home in Ferghana and the reverence all his successors had for the idea and myth of Ferghana. They maintained Uzbek family habits and rituals in their private lives and there were many Uzbek commanders in their armies. But they never saw Ferghana again, Kabul was their favoured city, treasured for its climate and the beautiful gardens that they installed. It reminded them of their mountain origins. As mountain Uzbeks however they were rustic and unpolished. This changed with wealth and stability and especially due to Humayun's exile in Persia and the subsequent two generations of friendly relations between the two Empires. The Mughals came to surpass the Persians in empire and wealth yet the Mughal court considered the Persian court the pinnacle of sophistication and elegance, and tried to emulate them most sincerely. To sum up, they started as Uzbeks of Turkic origin who aspired for Persian culture but ultimately they became decidedly Indian - for the talent of India is such that whomever has conquered it ultimately became assimilated and changed to such extent that if a traveler from their lands of origin suddenly met them he would find them quite unfamiliar.
2. He was the eldest son of Umar Sheikh Mirza, a direct descendant of Turk-Mongol conqueror Timur, also known as Tamurlane. His mother was a direct descendant of Asia's conqueror Genghis Khan. 3. He ascended the throne of Fergana (now in Uzbekistan) in 1495, at the age of 12. In 1504, he conquered Kabul, which was an important citadel in Central Asia.

TheRussian Walrus oh I watch extra credits too, but thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check out since I haven’t seen that video yet. Still, I wanted to see Epimetheus’s take on it since he has already done a video on Ancient Mexican cultures.
Indians were never united and that is why foreigners such as mughals. Iranians ,french, british invaded India. Even now they are not united. They are acustomed to fight each other.
this is pretty natural. cause the religious-cultural social fabric of indian subcontinent have nurtured and promoted "class/caste system" for thousand of years that itself discriminate between various groups of a society. consequently, the invaders took advantage of that and ruled them in different periods of history.
@Manu Kum if you're even remotely connected with India you should know by what time Aryan race came to India, when did the rise of Brahmins Sanskrit based aristrocacy reshaped Indian religious & socio cultural fabric with the practice of caste /class system. Lastly whether in Indian mass people culture this system still dominantly exist or not.

@VK Firstly, there was no Hindu vs Muslim war. It was a propaganda used by Muslim invader just like Maratha used Hindu Swaraj slogan to raise moral. Secondly, so Prithivraj Chauhan's victory in 1st battle of Terrain, Hemu taking Delhi from Mughals (brief but was still a victory), Mewar stopping invasions under Bappa Rawal, Battle of Dewar where Maharana Pratap claimed majority of his territory back, Extension of Maratha empire under Peshwa Bajirao and Chatrapati Shivaji, the rebellion of Rajput alliance in 1700s was a myth I guess according to you? Thirdly, even after almost 10 centuries of invasion India is still a Hindu majority even tho we were forced to convert pay non Muslim taxes , brutalized by many invaders yet we are still surviving how did that happen? Reality is that Indian subcontinent history goes way back even before Christianity or Islam was born. I only gave you example of resistance against muslims but many other rulers in history have been defending against European invasions. Hinduism is the only prehistoric religion that has survived. Reality is if you go right back since the start of Indian subcontinent existence they have defend and won way more battles then lost its just Britishers and later Congress distorted history to only talk about history from Mughal dynasty onwards to get vote bank or create muslim-hindu divide which Britishers succeeded as you can see Bharat got divided into India and Pakistan and then later Bangladesh also.

As a sikh ( people will debate my outlook on this ) aurangzeb was a very religous man, but a cruel and harsh ruler on the other hand his ancestor akbar was well loved by both muslims and non muslims his biggest accomplishment was removing the religous tax. So if I had to choose I would pick akhbar.

I disagreed on the tax stuff. countries run in tax, and im pretty sure the mughal citizens during that time was not burdened by heavy tax at all, the only major tax imposed on them was religious tax. And most nob muslims only them have to pay tax because of the jizya whrn muslims themselves have tocpay zakat. It was a political propaganda if anything.
@@aaak3590 tax on non muslims is called jizya. Its not because they're not of that faith lol. Muslims also have to pay their own tax whoch is the zakat.

If you want to criticize a taxing system then rome is your best bet since they taxed literally everyone even the people who they think as barbaric and denied citizenship.
The majority of mughal empire rule lasted from 1556-1740 for 200 years, In the last 100 years the empire was basically inside Delhi city with emperor in the name only.
They called themselves Shahanshah E Hindostan, it became an Indian equivalent of Roman Emperor and thus it was so prestigious that for the next century both Marathas and British tried to legitimise their rule in North India by being protector of the Mughal Emperor.

Great presentation. Just some additions and corrections. Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his youngest son Aurangzeb for 8 years. He used king's illness as a perfect pretext to kill off his brothers, cousins and nephews to usurp the throne. Shah Jahan was nominally called the Emperor till he died. So the fratricide and war of succession happened 8 years before Shah Jahan died. Even at their height, Mughals didn't directly control as much land as maps show. Much of Rajputana in west was controlled by Rajputs who were semi-autonomous, though nominally under the Mughal rule. Marathas were also battling in the west and the land under Mughal control was constantly shifting. The British East India Company grabbed some Indian land through war, but majority was through leaky contracts that they interpreted to benefit themselves. eg - Jhasi - where they disallowed the king's adopted son from taking over after the king's death and usurped the kingdom themselves. The term 'Indian Rebellion' is severally incorrect. You can rebel against a legitimate ruler. The Company was not a legitimate ruler of India. Marathas, Jats, Sikhs, Rajputs - they were the legitimate rulers of India. Most Historians now term the war as '1st battle of Independence.' No matter how you define it, the battle was limited in its spread and most Indian rulers stayed loyal to the British. Hence they survived the war and eventually after ousting the Mughal emperor, handed the rule of India to the British Gov. Even during the Raj, the sub-continent wasn't 'ruled by the British'. Like the Mughals before them, the British were nominally incharge of 40% of land and ruled the rest through proxy of 560+ local rulers who were semi-autonomous till 1947. I hope you find this info useful and update your presentation accordingly.

Babur was pure mongol from mother side ,and Turco Mongol from Timur. Both Turks and mongols cannot solely claim Mughals,just stop nationalizing lol. Mughals were proud of their family not any ethnicity. Fck Turks and mongols.
Mongols and Turks mixed in that region and they related distantly. But some people just love to ignore Turks. But our emotions don't matter, we should look at the sources. Just read Ali-Shir Nava-i's opinions on Turkish and read "Baburnama" (Written in Chagatai Turkish), in there you can even read Babur's words about how much he despises Mongols even though his mother is a Mongol. The worst part is, in the video Epimetheus says "Iranian Safavids", that's a shame. They spoke Turkish which is less Persianized than Ottomans. Those guys are more Turk than Ottomans.
Just because they lived in Iran we call them Iranian. In that logic, we should call Ottomans as Romans. Great video by the way, except the "Safavid" part : )
By your logic, mughals are persian then just because they spoke persian as their official language. Safavid dynasty is an iranian dynasty of kurdish origin, so does the language matters to you that much?
lol, Aruranzeb spent twenty years fighting the Marathas in te south and his generals in the north were fighting the Sikhs. He never had any stable control over the Deccan, let alone south India.
Auranzeb was in South for 27 yrs but he was mostly fighting 4 Deccan Sultanates. He dealt with Marathas in last during which Shahu Maharaj was killed. Intially Auranzeb wanted to include maratha in their fight against Shia Deccan Sultanate, but Shivaji silently refused .

Just wondering at 1:47 and in the previous Timurid video, why do you put it as the safavids who took over western and southern iran, rather than including the AQ as intermediaries
He was always a true Uzbek, so to say. Born in Uzbekistan, Grandson of the greatest Uzbek leader Tamerlane, how could you say he was Afghani? Even today, the people who live in where Babur hided and gained armies from are classified as ethnic Uzbeks, even if they live/lived in Afghanistan.
No single dynasty ruled India from Kabul to Kanyakumari...not even for a year or months...this exception is only for Emperor Ashoka and Chandrgupta Mourya 2nd. and south of india Including large parts of Maharastra never ruled by Moguls.
Chandragupta and ashok did with peace. The empire had 3 wars in total. I know ashoka had a bloody battle. But that was because chankaya died. Bascially he had no mentor. Other then that. They did with peace.
@F U B I agree. Dara had no military skill whatsoever. But I wouldn't say Aurangzeb saved the Mughal empire, rather he was the sole reason for it's decline. His wars in Deccan depleted the Mughal treasury to a unrecoverable amount.
@@MrPrathampatil Aurangzeb wars in Deccan was from a tactical point good for entire empire , he wanted to control everything.

it's crazy how much history Turkic people have and how arguably are the greatest warriors ever but never get mentioned especially in the West. I use to hate history is school coz it was so boring but once I started doing my own research and finding out the truth and history about all empires and people, I love history now. last few years learning about history and how much impact the Turkic people have had on history is mind blowing.
A magnificent history stretching from Siberia to North Africa, from Poland to India is purposely covered up because the winners write the history and the owners of this magnificent history are not the last winners.

Fun fact 🇲🇳, The Mughals were a Mongol and turkic empire. Search up, are mughals Mongol, and it will say "The name Mughal or Moghul is a corruption of the Persian word for Mongol, the Central Asian tribe after whom Mongolia is named. The Mughals originated in Central Asia, and were descended from the Mongol ruler Jenghiz Khan and Timur (Tamburlaine), the great conqueror of Asia"

5:30 You seriously suggesting he executed that the Sikh guru merely cause of religious reasons? You need to read a few books in that case. Guru Arjan sided with Jehangir's rebellious son.
Don't tell me that you see the Mughals as some sort of divine dynasty that ruled the subcontinent as benevolent, enlightened rulers with some sort of mandate from heaven. Without whom the subcontinent would have descended into further chaos and turmoil and consequently into self destruction.
He executed Sikh guru along with his brother dara shikoh becus of rebellion. Sikhs tried with rebels to overthrow Mughals. It's was more political than religious reasons.
@Shaurya Joshi Mughals never into forced conversions. Some even married Hindoo locals , marrying is not conversion. Akbar even tried to combine all religions into one faith but failed due to strong opposition of muslim Ulema and Hindoo pandits .
It was Akbar who was one of the best rulers of his dynasty. The fall of the empire started after Jehangir. And also Shajehan was imprisoned by Aurangzeb and he died in imprisonment. The only good thing out of the Mughal dynasty was that each king used to work and earn from that particular opposition. Kingdoms fall because a prince has to wait for his father to die and succeed power.
Truly Akbar was a far-sighted man, his liberal policies with his multi cultural and religious subjects was way ahead of its time. No contemporary of his shows the same tact. Jehangir was wise enough not to meddle too much with his father's policies. It started going downhill with Shah Jahan and culminated with Aurangzeb.
Seeing those dangerously low and useless parapets on mughal buildings in Delhi, you're forced to imagine someone falling over and dying. You'd imagine they'd learn their lesson from humayun and build higher parapets, but they didn't,did they?

Babur was supported by an Indian warlord Rana Sangam Singh of Mewer . Rana Invited him to defect the Lodhi's but Babur took advantage of the power vacuum and ill-equipped Subcontinental army .First defected Babur than Rana Sanga and led to the foundation of Mughal empire .
hardly an emperor, he was always on the run. read more accurate history. he did not even defeated rana sanga as the historians describe, for next 3 years of the battle of khanwa, he dare not attack Rana Sanga's domain, rather he advanced to other eastern states of the country. He was also a coward who usually never fought in the battles till he got sure that the victory was at hand. He always surrounded himself with a personal contingent. Regarding an emperor, he (and his predecessors) could never again win their own land back, besides the most important factor an emperor should have is direct control of a vast land (neither he or his predecessors did), peace was almost non-existent, never worked for the betterment of local populace (an emperor has to be working on that is a must), technically he was just exploiting. Different people have different theory of emperor, as the topic is babur, he was never an emperor. Also, in Islam, anybody could declare himself caliph, he was not even a caliph, how could he be an emperor. the whole idea is shi*.

The Mughals didn't use to call themselves the "Mughals" during their reign. They use to call themselves Gurkani.
They were named Mogul by the British, and later the local accents pronounced it as Mughal. Their real name during their reign was Gurkani. Which means the son in laws (of Ghengis Khan).
From Wikipedia: "Gurkani" means "son-in-law" (of Genghis Khan). The nomenclature Mughal Empire is of English origin and not the name by which the empire was known then or designated.

Same with tamils
It's questionable to say that the Mughals were "a Persianized Turko-Mongol Warrior aristocracy" for their entire rule. They weren't really all that Turko-Mongol after the second generation; Humayun's mother may have been Iranian, and Akbar's mother certainly was. As Epimetheus mentioned, Akbar's successor had a Rajput mother, and married a Rajput princess himself. So, in terms of lineage, their third ruler was at least as Persian as Turko-Mongol, and after that his descendants were more Indian than anything. In terms of culture, meanwhile, they didn't really have a lot of holdovers from their Turko-Mongol ancestors after Akbar, and became much more culturally Indo-Persian.
Good points
whatever it is, they couldnt be an Indian empire since they are foreign forces that invaded.
Though not Mongol himself, Timur himself had sought to enhance the legitimacy of his rule by assuming the mantle of the line of Chaghatai Khan, with whom he claimed kinship. He had adopted the title of Gurkan (son-in-law) in reference to his marriage to Tukul Khanum, whose father was directly related to Chaghatai Khan and additionally installed a puppet king from the Chaghatid clan on the throne. Quite appropriately therefore Babur, Humayun and Akbar saw themselves first and foremost as princes of the great house of Timur (1336 - 1405), who had conquered vast tracts of territory in Central Asia and even sacked Delhi in 1398. Additionally they traced their ancestry even further back to the Mongol warrior Chenggiz Khan (1167 - 1227), who had upon his death, divided his vast Mongol empire among his four sons, a crucial event later illustrated by Akbar's artists. Mughalistan (including the western Tarim Basin and Kashgar) and Transoxania were bestowed upon his second son Chaghatai Khan (d. 1242). When these two wings of dominion were split up late in the thirteenth century, Transoxania in the west became the scene of mass conversion to Islam and a great deal of intermarriage with Turkic tribes people before it eventually fell to Timur, a Barlas Turk. Timur's descendants had ruled Transoxania until they succumbed to the forces of the Shaibanid Turks in 1508- 9.

Fascinating! This is a period that I can claim to know a little about, and I'm simply awed that you cover pretty much all in 10 minutes. I enjoyed it very much. To answer you, while you are of course right about Turkic genealogical origins I believe the Mughals themselves would have answered that were Uzbek; given Babar's home in Ferghana and the reverence all his successors had for the idea and myth of Ferghana. They maintained Uzbek family habits and rituals in their private lives and there were many Uzbek commanders in their armies. But they never saw Ferghana again, Kabul was their favoured city, treasured for its climate and the beautiful gardens that they installed. It reminded them of their mountain origins. As mountain Uzbeks however they were rustic and unpolished. This changed with wealth and stability and especially due to Humayun's exile in Persia and the subsequent two generations of friendly relations between the two Empires. The Mughals came to surpass the Persians in empire and wealth yet the Mughal court considered the Persian court the pinnacle of sophistication and elegance, and tried to emulate them most sincerely.
To sum up, they started as Uzbeks of Turkic origin who aspired for Persian culture but ultimately they became decidedly Indian - for the talent of India is such that whomever has conquered it ultimately became assimilated and changed to such extent that if a traveler from their lands of origin suddenly met them he would find them quite unfamiliar.
2. He was the eldest son of Umar Sheikh Mirza, a direct descendant of Turk-Mongol conqueror Timur, also known as Tamurlane. His mother was a direct descendant of Asia's conqueror Genghis Khan.
3. He ascended the throne of Fergana (now in Uzbekistan) in 1495, at the age of 12. In 1504, he conquered Kabul, which was an important citadel in Central Asia.

Indians were never united and that is why foreigners such as mughals. Iranians ,french, british invaded India. Even now they are not united. They are acustomed to fight each other.
this is pretty natural. cause the religious-cultural social fabric of indian subcontinent have nurtured and promoted "class/caste system" for thousand of years that itself discriminate between various groups of a society. consequently, the invaders took advantage of that and ruled them in different periods of history.
@Manu Kum if you're even remotely connected with India you should know by what time Aryan race came to India, when did the rise of Brahmins Sanskrit based aristrocacy reshaped Indian religious & socio cultural fabric with the practice of caste /class system.

Akbar was first powerful emperor and Aurangzeb was last After That they are puppets Either of Waziers, Marathas, Subhedars, British and looted by Marathas,persians,durrani, Sikhs .
So I consider Mughal rule from Akbar-Aurangzeb
@VK Firstly, there was no Hindu vs Muslim war. It was a propaganda used by Muslim invader just like Maratha used Hindu Swaraj slogan to raise moral. Secondly, so Prithivraj Chauhan's victory in 1st battle of Terrain, Hemu taking Delhi from Mughals (brief but was still a victory), Mewar stopping invasions under Bappa Rawal, Battle of Dewar where Maharana Pratap claimed majority of his territory back, Extension of Maratha empire under Peshwa Bajirao and Chatrapati Shivaji, the rebellion of Rajput alliance in 1700s was a myth I guess according to you? Thirdly, even after almost 10 centuries of invasion India is still a Hindu majority even tho we were forced to convert pay non Muslim taxes , brutalized by many invaders yet we are still surviving how did that happen? Reality is that Indian subcontinent history goes way back even before Christianity or Islam was born. I only gave you example of resistance against muslims but many other rulers in history have been defending against European invasions. Hinduism is the only prehistoric religion that has survived. Reality is if you go right back since the start of Indian subcontinent existence they have defend and won way more battles then lost its just Britishers and later Congress distorted history to only talk about history from Mughal dynasty onwards to get vote bank or create muslim-hindu divide which Britishers succeeded as you can see Bharat got divided into India and Pakistan and then later Bangladesh also.

I spent my entire High School learning what is explained in his 10 minute video.
As a sikh ( people will debate my outlook on this ) aurangzeb was a very religous man, but a cruel and harsh ruler on the other hand his ancestor akbar was well loved by both muslims and non muslims his biggest accomplishment was removing the religous tax. So if I had to choose I would pick akhbar.
thats true and to be honest earlier he wasnt that, the court minister and wazirs in later stages of life turned him into what he became
@@yasinjamal7517 you are absolute right i herd a story about him that once he said a quote from Guru Nanak Dev ji and his ministers addressed him that he should not heed to those quotes since its a non believers words. He then addressed that when he studied in his madrassa his maulvi used to say that quote to remind them of there doings or something.
I disagreed on the tax stuff. countries run in tax, and im pretty sure the mughal citizens during that time was not burdened by heavy tax at all, the only major tax imposed on them was religious tax. And most nob muslims only them have to pay tax because of the jizya whrn muslims themselves have tocpay zakat.
It was a political propaganda if anything.
@@zebimicio5204 listen to what your saying a people have to pay taxes because they are not of that faith lol it's a political and religious injustice.
@@aaak3590 tax on non muslims is called jizya. Its not because they're not of that faith lol. Muslims also have to pay their own tax whoch is the zakat. Difference between those two is that zakat is compulsary. But both aim is to rejuvinate the economy and help the poor
This is what i meant by non muslims doesn't understand the concept and took the political propaganda purely at face value.
If you want to criticize a taxing system then rome is your best bet since they taxed literally everyone even the people who they think as barbaric and denied citizenship.
Good stuff as always bro!
The majority of mughal empire rule lasted from 1556-1740 for 200 years, In the last 100 years the empire was basically inside Delhi city with emperor in the name only.
They called themselves Shahanshah E Hindostan, it became an Indian equivalent of Roman Emperor and thus it was so prestigious that for the next century both Marathas and British tried to legitimise their rule in North India by being protector of the Mughal Emperor.

Great presentation. Just some additions and corrections.
Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his youngest son Aurangzeb for 8 years. He used king's illness as a perfect pretext to kill off his brothers, cousins and nephews to usurp the throne. Shah Jahan was nominally called the Emperor till he died. So the fratricide and war of succession happened 8 years before Shah Jahan died.
Even at their height, Mughals didn't directly control as much land as maps show. Much of Rajputana in west was controlled by Rajputs who were semi-autonomous, though nominally under the Mughal rule. Marathas were also battling in the west and the land under Mughal control was constantly shifting.
The British East India Company grabbed some Indian land through war, but majority was through leaky contracts that they interpreted to benefit themselves. eg - Jhasi - where they disallowed the king's adopted son from taking over after the king's death and usurped the kingdom themselves.
The term 'Indian Rebellion' is severally incorrect. You can rebel against a legitimate ruler. The Company was not a legitimate ruler of India. Marathas, Jats, Sikhs, Rajputs - they were the legitimate rulers of India. Most Historians now term the war as '1st battle of Independence.'
No matter how you define it, the battle was limited in its spread and most Indian rulers stayed loyal to the British. Hence they survived the war and eventually after ousting the Mughal emperor, handed the rule of India to the British Gov.
Even during the Raj, the sub-continent wasn't 'ruled by the British'. Like the Mughals before them, the British were nominally incharge of 40% of land and ruled the rest through proxy of 560+ local rulers who were semi-autonomous till 1947.
I hope you find this info useful and update your presentation accordingly.
Aptly put forth...
What a fun n fascinating video. Great job to whoever made this video.
Though not Mongol himself, Timur himself had sought to enhance the legitimacy of his rule by assuming the mantle of the line of Chaghatai Khan, with whom he claimed kinship. He had adopted the title of Gurkan (son-in-law) in reference to his marriage to Tukul Khanum, whose father was directly related to Chaghatai Khan and additionally installed a puppet king from the Chaghatid clan on the throne. Quite appropriately therefore Babur, Humayun and Akbar saw themselves first and foremost as princes of the great house of Timur (1336 - 1405), who had conquered vast tracts of territory in Central Asia and even sacked Delhi in 1398. Additionally they traced their ancestry even further back to the Mongol warrior Chenggiz Khan (1167 - 1227), who had upon his death, divided his vast Mongol empire among his four sons, a crucial event later illustrated by Akbar's artists. Mughalistan (including the western Tarim Basin and Kashgar) and Transoxania were bestowed upon his second son Chaghatai Khan (d. 1242). When these two wings of dominion were split up late in the thirteenth century, Transoxania in the west became the scene of mass conversion to Islam and a great deal of intermarriage with Turkic tribes people before it eventually fell to Timur, a Barlas Turk. Timur's descendants had ruled Transoxania until they succumbed to the forces of the Shaibanid Turks in 1508- 9.

The Timurid dynasty was founded in 1370 by the Turkic warlord Temür, usually known in the west as Tamerlane (Temür the lame).
Temür and his followers were Turks loyal to the Mongol tradition, but they were also Muslim and well acquainted with Perso-Islamic culture.

3. He ascended the throne of Fergana (now in Uzbekistan) in 1495, at the age of 12. In 1504, he conquered Kabul, which was an important citadel in Central Asia.
Babur was pure mongol from mother side ,and Turco Mongol from Timur. Both Turks and mongols cannot solely claim Mughals,just stop nationalizing lol. Mughals were proud of their family not any ethnicity. Fck Turks and mongols.
Mongols and Turks mixed in that region and they related distantly. But some people just love to ignore Turks. But our emotions don't matter, we should look at the sources.
Just read Ali-Shir Nava-i's opinions on Turkish and read "Baburnama" (Written in Chagatai Turkish), in there you can even read Babur's words about how much he despises Mongols even though his mother is a Mongol.
The worst part is, in the video Epimetheus says "Iranian Safavids", that's a shame. They spoke Turkish which is less Persianized than Ottomans. Those guys are more Turk than Ottomans.
Just because they lived in Iran we call them Iranian. In that logic, we should call Ottomans as Romans.

Wait! Safavids were not Iranian Persian but they in fact were Iranian Turko-Persian state! This is critical error!
India is forever grateful to our warrior Sikhs for winning
Nadar Shah the persian made that possible defeating the moguls and weakening them.

You seriously suggesting he executed that the Sikh guru merely cause of religious reasons?
You need to read a few books in that case.
Guru Arjan sided with Jehangir's rebellious son.
War of succession started and ended before Jahangir's death.
Don't tell me that you see the Mughals as some sort of divine dynasty that ruled the subcontinent as benevolent, enlightened rulers with some sort of mandate from heaven. Without whom the subcontinent would have descended into further chaos and turmoil and consequently into self destruction.
He executed Sikh guru along with his brother dara shikoh becus of rebellion.
Sikhs tried with rebels to overthrow Mughals.
It's was more political than religious reasons.
@@heathenfire I Don't.
There's nuance to everything.
@Shaurya Joshi
Mughals never into forced conversions.
Some even married Hindoo locals , marrying is not conversion.
Akbar even tried to combine all religions into one faith but failed due to strong opposition of muslim Ulema and Hindoo pandits .
It was Akbar who was one of the best rulers of his dynasty. The fall of the empire started after Jehangir. And also Shajehan was imprisoned by Aurangzeb and he died in imprisonment. The only good thing out of the Mughal dynasty was that each king used to work and earn from that particular opposition. Kingdoms fall because a prince has to wait for his father to die and succeed power.
Truly Akbar was a far-sighted man, his liberal policies with his multi cultural and religious subjects was way ahead of its time. No contemporary of his shows the same tact. Jehangir was wise enough not to meddle too much with his father's policies. It started going downhill with Shah Jahan and culminated with Aurangzeb.
Brother Make a video on Marathas and Shivaji, who was a nightmare for Moghuls..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nightmare? He got ripped
Seeing those dangerously low and useless parapets on mughal buildings in Delhi, you're forced to imagine someone falling over and dying. You'd imagine they'd learn their lesson from humayun and build higher parapets, but they didn't,did they?
Bobur was born in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 he is generation of Amir Temur
amazing vid, I learnt a lot thx
babur acquired fireguns and officers from ottomans to counter turkic safevids. These guns outperformed indian guns and so he carpet conquered india
Very cohesively 300 years of Mughal rule put together. Thanks
Fabulous, just fantastic way of narrating the history of land & its conquerors. I just want to add that kindly provide sources of your information as well , in my opinion it will add more beauty to such historical topics & contents , it ‘d be more helpful for students of history like me & would sound more authentic information to be relied upon !
Thanks 🙏
Babur was a turk as he clearly mentioned in his autobiography tuzuk e babari written in turkic language by him
Yes,he was a muslim and turk from Turkistan.
He was a Uzbek not a Turk dumbass
@F U B I mean Turk from Turkey not the Tribe called "Turkic"
@Eyre Borne "Turk" remained an umbrella self designation for a lot of Turkic groups, especially the settled ones such as Uzbeks and Uyghurs, Uyghurs didn't even called themselves Uyghurs, it's a revived term, they until recently called themselves Turk. Where do you think the name Turkistan is coming from?
@Eyre Borne Turk : Oghuz (Turkey, Azerbaican, turkmenistan), Karluk( uzbekistan, Uigur), Kipchak (Kazakistan, Kirgizistan, Tataristan, Bashkordostan), Siberians ( Yakuts, Tuvans)...
What is it with Mongol founders and starting with only a handful of troops? Genghis, Timur, and Babur all did this!
They were great leaders
they just knew how to PUNCH
"handful" of troops? dude, genghis and timurs armies were very large. they entered Baghdad with an army of 120 000 troops
@@zizouace4890 Hence why I said "started with". Neither inherited an army that size.
They were not Mongol, They were Turkic . Only genghis khan was half Mongol half Turkic.
