Question

7. Why did the Mughals emphasise their Timurid and
not their Mongol descent? very short answer​

Answer 1

The Mughals emphasized on their Timurid and not their Mongol descent because Ghengiz Khan's memory was associated with the massacre of innumerable people. They took pride in the fact that Timur had captured Delhi in 1398

Answer 2

Answer:

The mughals emphasized their Timurid descent because their ancestor once had captured Delhi in 1398 . But they did not emphasize their mongol descent because a Mongolian ancestor of theirs named Genghis Khan had done a massacre of thousands of people and he was also linked to the uzbegs who have always been and were still a threat to their Mughal dynasty . Hence the mughals emphasized their timurid descent but not their mongol descent .
