Answer 1

The Mughal Empire (Persian: گورکانیان‎, translit. Gūrkāniyān;[9] Urdu: مغلیہ سلطنت‎, translit. Mughliyah Saltanat)[10][2] or Mogul Empire[11] was an empire in the Indian subcontinent, founded in 1526. It was established and ruled by the Timurid dynasty, with Turco-Mongol Chagatai roots from Central Asia, claiming direct descent from both Genghis Khan (through his son Chagatai Khan) and Timur,[12][13][14] and with significant Indian Rajput and Persian ancestry through marriage alliances;[15][16] the first two Mughal emperors had both parents of Central Asian ancestry, while successive emperors were of predominantly Persian and some Rajput ancestry.[17] The dynasty was Indo-Persian in culture,[18] combining Persianate culture[11][19] with local Indian cultural influences[18] visible in its court culture and administrative customs.[20]
