POLITICAL HISTORY OF THE MUGHALS: INFLUENCE ON SOUTH ASIA

ABSTRACT

The extraordinary design of Mughal architecture was a significant part of the Mughals’ commitment to the Indian subcontinent. During the reign of the Mughal dynasty, Muslim rulers, most notably Shah Jahan, were responsible for the construction of a number of important structures. One of these was the Taj Mahal, which is often regarded as being among the most impressive examples of Mughal architecture. The burial site of Humayun, Fatehpur Sikri, the Red Fortress, the Agra Post, and the Lahore Stronghold are some of the other World Legacy Destinations. The palaces, cemeteries, and fortresses that were constructed by the line can still be found in Agra, Aurangabad, Delhi, Dhaka, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur, Lahore, Kabul, and Sheikhupura, in addition to a great number of other metropolitan sites in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. The descendants of Babur kept the characteristics and practises of South Asia, despite having little memory of Central Asia, and eventually became almost completely naturalised in that region. The influence of the Mughals can be observed in several social commitments, such as the establishment of a centralised, imperialistic government that brought together a number of smaller kingdoms.
