Could have been worse, a random staircase deep in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Do not climb those. Run when you see them.
Fall of mughgals started after death of aurangzeb. Sons of aurangzeb started practicing extreme tolarance which caused them to lower taxes and deep friendship with non-muslims. then As aurangzeb once feared, the non-muslim officials berayed mughal emperors and took many of its states.

The most fascinating thing to me is the Marathas couldn't do away with the Mughal emperor despite having him as a puppet. That speaks of the lasting influence of the might of the empire.

Actually no. He didn't mention most of slaughtering of infidels and even after Mughals intermingled with Indians and had children still calling them turko Persians is just plain pathetic but it's just my opinion and I could be wrong ...
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.

@@scoringbox2176 Incas were biggest and strongest army at that time but a femine wiped out Almost all of them.
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.
Thanks for the information.

it's amazing that babur went from an exile to an emperor

@gulag master The battle was with Afghans and Maratha
In which Afghans won. YaY
@Arambai Laishram yes
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*.
now this deserves a TV series, not like GoT where the depressed dragon goes missing, the 1000 yr throne gets melted in minutes and a new movable throne currently held by the cripple.

it's about time you uploaded
This is so well condensed. Keep up the great work!
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. Lastly whether in Indian mass people culture this system still dominantly exist or not.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
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.

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).
Temür and his followers were Turks loyal to the Mongol tradition, but they were also Muslim and well acquainted with Perso-Islamic culture.

Moron Aurangzeb was only who defeated British check bbc hindi its say all in which British channel accept this
Shoeb Ahmed oh course the BBC (a British source) is going to say that
@@Ydidutakemyname check their video on Aurangzeb na baby idhar bolne se Pele ek baar check kr le
YOURE WRONG AFTER THE DEATH OF AURANGZEB THE MUGHAL EMPIRE STARTED DECLING NOT BECAUSE OF THE SO CALLED BRAVE PEOPLE . IT WAS THE MUGHALS THEMSELVES WHO STARTED TO FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES . CORRUPTION HAD BECOME RAMPANT , THE RULERS HAD BECOME ALCOHOLICS AND WERE MORE INTERESTED IN WOMENS THAN THEIR EMPIRES. HISTORY HAS IT THAT CORRUPTION CAN BRING DOWN THE BIGGEST EMPIRES . FOR THOSE OF YOU THINKING THAT THESE JATS, SIKHS AND OTHERS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MUGHALS DECLINE YOURE WRONG THE MUGHALS THEMSEVES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN DOWNFALL. IF YOU ARE A MAHARASHTRIAN PLEASE DONT READ THIS THESE WORDS WILL NEVER GO INTO YOUR BRAIN BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE STILL THINK HIDING BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS IS BRAVERY.
@@alishaikh7877 that's correct infighting and corruption eat the whole mighty mughal empire and after that British conquered whole indian subcontinent through wars, divide and rule policy, etc the British Raj was very harsh and it can be felt today also the divide created for their own profit is now same used by todays indian politicians for their own benefits can't u people see the population who rebelled only under the banner of mughal emperor ( was just a powerless emperor) against British.
That some really awsome art dude!
really a detailed video happy to this one more time
Mughal Empire was literally a big empire in Indian history, which started from 1526 and continued till 1857. Though the fact is the empire lasted till 1707, the later Mughals and the entry of British in India also involved in this.

Wish if Mughals still ruled India. It was really a golden age.
Nope india is for is people not some idiot monarchs if u love to live in monarch go to North Korea
Nobody in India ever whishes that..i wish marathas ruled India again..they were fair to every religion and culture..everybody would live in peace then..Good thing BJP is trying to bring peace again
I suggest checking out "Zafarnama". It was a letter written to Aungzerab by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Guru Gobind Singh installed a warrior mindset amongst the Sikhs and started the rebellion against Aungzerab.
Sikhs are british slaves. Nothing more.
Guru Gobind Singh ji shot a arrow through a window which nearly hit his arm which had the Zafernama attached to the arrow it states that next time he will hit his head next time
For another channel-wide collaboration playlist may I suggest the (mostly)tumultuous 17th century?
Great Video. Also create video on who were the Safavids...unfortunately Safavid Empire is so underrated. It needs a video to know more.
I agree, its about time to expose the myth of safavida being turkic
Soon my finances will be OK again. I’ll begin donating to you via patreon.
Video is nice
Can you even mention the source of information also when you get it 😂🙏🏾✌🏾 please
Would recommend the speaker to speak more clearly.......... Otherwise thank you so much for ur tireless efforts.😁
listen - very few have as much to say as you do - your videos are always informative and interesting , and visually intriguing , BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM LONGER , OR SCALE DOWN THE SCOPE OF THE ISSUES , the amount of information given is dizzying and at the same time not enough - it's always too interesting to be rushed through - take your time ! your stories are our history !
I clicked faster than the Mughal invasion
Thanks for making me laugh brother.
@@PakistanDefenseForum Babar Couldn't include the whole of Bengal or the Burma. It's probably at the time of Akbar all those parts were united under the Mughal Banner.
I clicked faster than how khalsa army banged Mughals
Aditya Singh Yes brother
@@AdityaSingh-ku3cv yes you can defeat mughal when they become weak
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.
@@Angrypatriot_1 you ar wrong hinduism of today has nothing to do with Hinduism of prehistoric time. Every hindu book and text has been heavily edited. So no hinduism has not survived.

More like north India
Originally Mughal empire was Tamerlan's grandson Zahirud-din Muhammad Babur( Babur means Tiger in Uzbek and Urdu languages)
Bahut or babbar? Babbar Sher is a term
Babur*

@@avik4343 im pretty sure they meant never by the mughals
@@Quetsalcoatvl maybe
Very Well said. Though they were distand decendants of mongols, the empires source (from where the army was formed) were Afghanistan.
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.
He is (truly) can only be credited to mongols, his genes were spread, but id give credit truly to mongols only
the mughals had an active policy of keeping Afghans from gaining any power lol
@Angry Young Man Vanquisher of Tyranny nah. fuck india. we will just let indians cry about what we did to them. lol.
@@durbekhakimov4417 hazara and Not uzbeki babur
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?
Erdem Demirhan what do u mean by they speak turkish ? Word turkish were only used after ww1
Erdem Demirhan u must be turkified caucasian 😁😁
@@OwnTrick Kurdish dynasty that speaks Turkish and lives in Ardabil? Are you kurdish yourself or just stupid?
@@timurzadeh6067
Since you turks rely alot on wikipedia, why dont you search it up there and then tell me what the safavid dynasty's origin is.
Like that creepy music for the intro.
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"
Yeah it's origin is turco mongol but certainly not Turkic or mongol empire
This empire was totally based in india ,followed indian culture and about 11 of the 17 mughal mothers were indian
@@user-uj2tk2tv3z It’s not origin ≠ Culture, society & language
What helmet is that the right side soldier in the thumbnail is wearing? I have never seen anything like that while searching mughal helms. Could you please tell me?
bicycle helmet
Nice Video, though brief gives highlights of Mughal Empire effectively...
Battle of panipat /Maratha Empire and mughal-maratha 27 war deserve a separate video.
Had vishwas rao or bhau survived the panipat or madhav rao didnt die young .India would be different dont know good or bad but certainly different
.
Who is vishwasrao or bhau explain
@@goldenmemes51 Sadhashiv rao (Know as Bhau ,term of respect) was son of chimmaji Appa .First Cousin of Peshwa Balaji baji rao
He never lost any battle till third battle of panipat,where he was commander-in-chief of around 40k soldier and on died battle field .
Vishwasrao was son or heir apparent of Balaji baji Rao ,grand son of illustrious balaji bhat,nephew of bhau .
@Shem Naga
Yeah cause humans can imagine. Which makes them able to do many creative things .
@Future Cybertron nadir shah came in 1739-40 after hearing that some maratha's had defeated the mughal at bhopal and battle of delhi in 1737,routing the whole imperial army.
Secondly maratha fought three battle with british .
Last Hyder-Tipu were trained by french specially under de bussy ,for i guess make in india- Rafale initiative ,mysore was defeated and needed to pay chauth to maratha under woodyer king as per baji rao and bhonsle expediation ,which eventually tipu agreed to pay as treaty of Gajendragad.His father alsoagrredto pay same after madhav rao expedition
@@himanshutyagi5798
In summary marathas was a fish trying to swim to the top of a leaking barrel
The British were already taking large swaths of land
And even when they pushed the last mughal emperor into Delhi they kept him on rather than depose him
Why?
Legitimacy that's why
Having amughal emperor still ruling in Delhi ensured the loyalty of the muslims within their realm
Even still they didn't last long
Wiki page is wrong
Marathas barely last century and their peak was less than 40 years
The wiki page adds on years from the early period as a conclave in the deccan coast even though they were getting hammered by aurengzeb while swallowed the entire deccan region
How do you produce so much content? You make alot of good content consistently, it would be awesome if you shared your production routine. I think it would help all of us interested in content creation. I hope you keep creating awesome stuff!
@Epimetheus I second this, would love to know more about your process!!
I third this.
Would love to know how to be so efficient and effective
Lingering Moghul influence is even evident in Indian cuisine. The tandoor oven, widely used in India, originated in Central Asia as did naan bread.
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
Amazing work. The only thing that I find disappointing is I did include some of the content in my lessons :( Well done!!
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.
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.
You collected factful information
