Ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 17th centuries, consolidating Muslim faith, arts and culture.

Founded by Babur, a descendant of the Mongol Empire (by now thoroughly Muslim) who crushed the Delhi Sultanate.

Established by 1526, and lasted till 1856, though the last century was a time of decline, with power passing to regional governors and finally to the British.
