Question

The Mughal could never recover from the devasting invasion of ____ and ____​

Answer 1

R

uling as large a territory as the Indian subcontinent

with such a diversity of people and cultures was

an extremely difficult task for any ruler to accomplish

in the Middle Ages. Quite in contrast to their

predecessors, the Mughals created an empire and

accomplished what had hitherto seemed possible for

only short periods of time. From the latter half of the

sixteenth century they expanded their kingdom from

Agra and Delhi, until in the seventeenth century they

controlled nearly all of the subcontinent. They imposed

structures of administration and ideas of governance

that outlasted their rule, leaving a political legacy that

succeeding rulers of the subcontinent could not ignore.

Today the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation

on Independence Day from the ramparts of the Red

Fort in Delhi, the residence of the Mughal emperors.

Answer 2

The Mughal, Mogul or Moghul Empire, was an early modern empire in South Asia.[9] For some two centuries, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan plateau in south India.[10]
