The Between India And India

The Ottoman and Mughal empires were two of the greatest and most successful empires to ever form in history. However, they both had some similarities as well as differences. Both empires went through tough periods of time, but at some point they also went through times of growth and prosperity. Although the Ottoman and Mughal Empire both did not force conversions into Islam, the Ottoman’s development relied on their tough military force, while the decline of the Mughal Empire was caused by Aurangzeb’s policy of religious persecution and high taxes.

Socially, the Ottoman Turks were every millet, or a country, inside the realm and had to isolate social traditions as per the religion of the millet. Muslim ladies had unforgiving limitations as with Islamic law, yet the non-Muslim ladies were liable to isolate laws. Indeed, even Muslim ladies had a greater number of rights than in other Muslim countries. In the Safavid domain socially, they were a blended society quite recently like the Ottoman realm. The nobles had constrained power and impact. They were likewise Turkic-talking tribal gatherings. In the Mughal domain socially, were Hindu populace. They had been debilitated by the decision Muslims. Akbar, who was initially a Muslim gave the Hindu more rights.

Safavid empire reached peak under this ruler, ruled from 1588 to 1629. He increased the size of the millitary and brought the empire out of their fall.

Aurangzeb's religious policy is based on the Islamic theory of kinship. Aurangzeb was felt that he had not only become greater than administer the empire in a better way, but also to protect and strengthen particularly its Sunni Islam faith. He was a strict follower of the Sunni sect, to the extent that he persecuted the members of the Shiite sect. In order to achieve its objective of strengthening Islam, his father was imprisoned, he killed his brothers, he forced his son Akbar to revolt and have a miserable life. He also forced the Rajputs, the Jat Sikhs and Marathas to revolt, destroyed the states of Bijapur and Golconda and imposed political, economic and social disabilities of their Muslim subjects in order to convert them to Islam. Believes that all Aurangzeb Mughal rulers who

The Mughal Empire: Zahir al-Din, also known as Babur, was a Chagatai Turk that, unlike the Ottoman and Safavids, was just a soldier of fortune not fighting on behalf of Islam. He wanted to use his fortune to transform a glorious central Asian empire. Although, he did not succeed at that goal he then focused on India. Babur took Delhi in 1526. He did not like the land that he had conquered, it was a hot and humid climate but, Babur decided to stay. By the time of his death he had embraced most of the Indian subcontinent. The height of the Mughal power and influence came from Babur’s grandson Akbar. He gained power in Gujarat and Bengal, destroyed the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagar in order to later expand in southern India. He was a thoughtful man who tolerated the religious differences in

The people didn't care about culture, education, or the arts. He revived his empire with skill, strength, bravery, and determination. The first three decades of his rule were filled with war. He had several reasons to keep the warrior traditions alive.

Akbar decreed that Hindus who had been forced to convert to Islam to reconvert to Hinduism without penalty. He also had his own religion which was called Dinillahi which had a few followers additionally, he started a form of worship which was divine of faith which is characteristics of several religions with a central belief of the emperor. All that Akbar did showed his passion for his empire and his nation and also how he wanted power and how he would take the proper steps to get it and try to keep everyone happy along with making sure the needs of the nation are met. One great thing that Akbar did was created a period of peace through religious tolerance in India for over years this is another reason why Akbar kept his power because he took chances for things and tried new ideas that most leaders would not try. Akbar was strong-willed, fearless and often cruel, but he was also just and compassionate and had an inquiring mind

From the 8th to 16h centuries C.E., Muslim invaders repeatedly attacked the Indian subcontinent. These conquerors, originally Arab and Persian but later Turkish, gradually expanded their control until by 1500 all but the southernmost edge of India was under Muslim rule. How did these Muslim forces conquer such a large area of land? Why were the powerful India kingdoms unable to defend against these incursions? Why were Muslim rulers so persistent in their aims? What were the consequences of Muslim rule in India?

Once Babar overthrew the Delhi Sultans he established the Mughal series of rulers over India and became the first Mughal. They would then make Persian the official language of the government of India. Each Mughal ruler had different attitudes towards Hinduism. Some abolished the special taxes levied on non-Muslims while others would revive the tax. However, the Mughal rulers left their mark on Indian civil governance and architecture. Some local and regional lineage heads, chieftains and landlords benefited from Maghul ruling. They grew

By the eighth century, various Muslim leaders successfully expanded and introduced Islam to the East. They reached Sind, Afghanistan, Kashmir, and the Punjab, but these efforts lead to disputes amongst other religious communities who were already established in these spaces––Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries were demolished, and tension between these groups grew (Davis, “A Brief History of the Religions in India,” p. 31). Asif attempts to revise this perspective during his discussion of Chachnama, claiming that “where Naipaul saw colonial destruction, the Pakistani state saw righteous domination of their faith over the unbelievers” (Asif, The Book of Conquest, p. 7). Regardless, this phase of invasive actions and unfamiliarity soon

The Mughals ruled over much of India more than 300 years who through seven generations remained in power over the subcontinent and tried to integrate Hindus and Muslims into a united Indian state. According to the text; “Muslim’s spiritual and philosophical life in India evolved together with the religious life of non-Muslims”. The Delhi sultanate as well as Mughal’s didn’t intervene in the religious obligations and believes of their people. The reason for the conquest of India by Mughals was purely a factor to strengthen their power over the region. The promotion of religion was not a major factor in the state policies.

Virtually surpassing Ashoka Samrat’s Mauryan Empire, the Mughal Sultanate was one of the largest autocratic governments instituted in the Indian Subcontinent and parts of (modern-day) Afghanistan. The dynasty was established, in 1526, by the Chagatai Turkic Prince, Muhammad Babur, who was the descendant of the Turkish conqueror, Timur, and, the Mongol emperor, Genghis Khan. The Mughal Empire is noted to have maintained a stable administration for over two centuries and integrate a single Muslim and Hindu State, India. However, internal problems, such as oppressive regulations, constant wars and British colonization, led to the fall of the Mughal dynasty in 1857. The Mughal supremacy is a puissant illustration of minority rule, which can be seen through Mughlai artifacts such as the Hamzanama, Taj Mahal and Aurangzeb’s armor.

The Mughal Empire was started by a Turkish man named Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur. His entrance into the Indian scene was quite interesting since there were already two parties trying to take over India, they were the Rajput and Afghans. His military intelligence and technology was leagues ahead of the Afghans and Rajput since the men who were classified as “matchlock men” and had men who would work “field cannon” . Babur and his army would take over India with these quick victories since he had such advanced weaponry. He himself had passed away in 1530, but his empire had taken over many territories in his time of reign.

One of the most famous empires in India, known as the Mughal Empire was created by a man known Babur (who was a decent of Genghis Khan). He didn’t have many successes in remaining and conquering central Asia like his ancestors so therefore he decided to try and conquer South Asia. Around 1527 he defeated two of the most powerful forces in India but was not able to turn the territory he gained into an empire. After his death he left that responsibility to his son Humayun, who even through lacked the military genius, was able to gain and have a foot hold in Agra and Delhi (mainly through the help of Persian Military). But it was his son Akbar who is credited for really laying the foundation for the Empire to flourish.

Many nations tend to start off slowly building an empire or a kingdom but it takes rulers and followers to up keep the regulations and tradition in order for it to flourish. Without the work of battles, political advancements and forming connections with other countries a nation cannot survive on its own which eventually leads to its downfall. According to the reading of Talbot and Asher it is clear to see why they concluded the late seventeenth century as a time to prove a “high tide mark from which the fortunes of the Mughal Empire quickly receded.” The Mughal Empire was one of the greatest periods in South Asian history in terms of political gains, new alliances and improvement of society as well as
