Babur of the Timurid dynasty founded the Mughal Empire (and Mughal dynasty) in 1526 and ruled until 1530. He was followed by Humayun (1530-1540) and (1555-1556), Akbar (1556-1605), Jahangir (1605-1627), Shah Jahan (1627-1658), Aurangzeb (1658-1707) and several other minor rulers until Bahadur Shah Zafar II(1837-1857).
The Mughal Empire ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 17th centuries. It consolidated Islam in South Asia, and spread Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith. The Mughals were Muslims who ruled a country with a large Hindu majority.

Mughal Empire
Time period:
The Mughal Empire ruled India from 1526 to 1857 CE.
Important Points:
- India's Golden Era is perhaps the Mughal Period. The Mughals were able to develop a strong economy and flourishing trade thanks to a solid foundation for their administration. Babur established the Mughal Empire in India.
- Akbar was a powerful emperor with a reputation for religious tolerance. He chose officials based on their abilities rather than their religion. Akbar was also notorious for honoring his defeated foes by appointing them to the Mughal court.
- He developed the Din-i-Ilahi religion, which incorporated Hindu, Islamic, Christian, Jain, and Zoroastrian doctrines. Mahesh Das, also known as Birbal, a Hindu Brahmin, was one of his closest confidants.
- After Akbar's death, his son, Jehangir, gained the throne and is noted for his love of art. Painting flourished during his reign, and he patronized a large number of artists.
- Shah Jahan, Jehangir's successor, was not as liberal as Akbar or Jehangir, but neither was he rigid. Shah Jahan was a supporter of the arts in all of their manifestations. India became the richest center for arts, crafts, and architecture under his reign. The economy and trade were both relatively steady.
- Aurangzeb was known for his orthodoxy. He reintroduced the jiziya, a non-Muslim tax in a Muslim state that had been abolished by Akbar. Aurangzeb embarked on numerous trips to enlarge his empire. Shivaji, a Maratha warrior, was a frequent opponent. The Great Mughal Empire began to crumble after Aurangzeb's death.
