The History of the Great Mughals, Babur to Aurangzeb | 1483 - 1707
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2025
- The Mughal Empire ruled parts of the Indian Subcontinent for more than three centuries. In that time, it transformed India into what it is today. The Mughals came as outsiders from Central Asia who conquered India with steel and gunpowder but overtime, they became as Indian as well, Biryani is, which, by the way, developed in the Mughal kitchens. They gave many things to India, from food to architecture and even languages. Their law-code, to a large extent, is used even today in India. They created one of history’s richest empires which contributed something like a fourth of the world’s GDP at its peak. Its first six rulers, also known as the Great Mughals, crafted modern India to such a large extent that their legacy is being discussed even today, from libraries and universities to parliaments. Theirs is the legacy we’ll go over in this video. This is the story of the Great Mughal Empire.

Stonework? I had no idea you were a based Mughal man.
Never knew you were into Mughals. Great to see you here. And yeah would love to see you back to making world building videos.
The longer the better
Videos like this for the Abbasid Caliphate, the Delhi Sultanate, the Ottoman Empire, Mamluk Egypt and Safavid Persia would be amazing. I will join your patreon in hopes that you may continue to share this precious knowledge with us.
Yes, if not all, at least for the Abbasid empire
@Iam ELIAS I think the context should be kept in mind - Yes, Ottoman Empire would easily wipe out the Abbasids, but that is because they lived at a time when the entire world was richer, more populated and more advanced. Abbasids still are highly impressive, altough in relative power I think the Mughals or the Ottomans were the most powerful Muslim Empire
@Shyam Sharma most Rajputs in modern Pakistan did convert to Islam and even in Mewat which is in India
@@georgeghazaryan you are also converted but not rajput , oh no i thaught akbar produced 60cr offsprings
@@juliuszgodek6514 no they were not Abbasids were the most impressive of them all they have the most well known King and for most part of Islamic world ideas came from their times however I will give they only have been in total control for just 100 years but put to mind how many empires ruled 11 millions square KM for more than that in total control
The production quality and commentary is beyond brilliant. Deserving of 5 million views. Zabardast!

@@faraway7733 Hahaha SATYA MEV JAYATEY, aag lege?
Mughal empire eventually was too big to control. Hence, infighting started, it started with Civil wars and then Awadh, Hyderabad state and Bengal broke away. Marathas were initially able to control the Central and parts of North India, however after Battle of Panipat, they started infighting as well. Scindia with Holkar, Gaikwad with Peshwa, Nagpur had multiple civil wars. That ultimately resulted in British Control of India.
no what tipped those off was the Islamist policy of aurangzeb. The previous rulers were more or less quite secular and didnt even levy jizya. Aurangzeb bought back the hated jizya. One thing which should be understand is to rule India, you must not disturb the local hindu and dharmic culture. Mauryans, Mughals, British all followed the same policy. To rule Hindustan, you have to respect Hindu first. aurangzeb had none of that. Thats why he isnt counted within the first great 6 mughal rulers. His terrorist like rule brought about many revolts and the mughal rule was brought to an end by the Marathas
@wisewisdom7879 Its not that simple. The Mughals ruled in India longer than the British. What led to the empire's demise was that the heirs of Aurangzeb were not as capable as him to hold the realm together. The bigger the state became the better and more capable the emperor required to hold it together. The expansionism of Aurangzeb had also expended a large amount of wealth. Eventually the British even with advanced technology couldn't hold India and once the British couldn't hold it together, it broke away and pieces of it broke off (Pakistan/Bangladesh)
@@lastword8783 It also had to do with the fact or examples away from the capital for over 20 years, With him so far away from the center administration for so long various groups that were normally swapped around as Zamindars Were able to create bases of power for themselves when they normally wouldn’t have been able to.
At led to a degradation of Central control, and helped cause the empire to begin collapsing.
@wisewisdom7879 India is not like the Arab gulf or China in terms of its ethnic or linguistic composition. There is immense diversity in India which can only be compared to Europe (if Europe becomes one country, that is). With such great diversity, it is not easy at all to 'rule' over people, because there is simply no 'unity' among the people except for perhaps, a civilizational connect. We have no common religion, no common language, no common ethnicity, and so on.
Mughals attempted to first use Islamic religion AND Turkic culture to integrate people. Then with the coming of Akbar, they tried to become more secular and Persianate, and finally with Aurangzeb they attempted to impose Sharia and go Saudi Arabia-like Islamic, but none of those tactics ultimately worked beyond few years because India simply isn't meant to be 'ruled' by a single commanding power at all. (And this is when Mughals did not have control over North East India and Tamil Nadu & Kerala. imagine the chaos if the empire were any bigger).
Even in the modern day, India may have one Prime Minister but there are 28 provinces and 7 union territories with each having their own chief minister. For once, you can rule China and Arabia under one ruler. But in India, even today, it is next to impossible to do so.
@rishabhrox1 india can be ruled under one commanding power like how Mughals and Britishers did, all it needs is excellence administration. And for your kind information sharia law is only implemented on muslims, under aurangzeb alamgir it was fatawa alamgiri, non muslim have their own personal law. Jaziya is imposed on brahmins and temples who loot the lower class hindus and cam be only used either in defense sector or for the betterment of the non muslims alone. Muslims have to pay zakat which is more than jaziya.
I am glad that despite this appearing as an Arab or Islamic channel, you've told the history rightly about Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with utmost respect. Kudos and a subscriber for that!

It’s more of biases rather than we want to acknowledge they were all bad.
I assume the Mughals get it harder for two reasons (1) they essentially created a South Asia concept that lasted until recent history
(2) they are Muslims which rules over non-Muslims (same can be applied to when Hindus rules over others)

Nader Shah’s brutal invasion was the biggest reason of collapse of Mughals
or maybe cuz of the jaziya tax on their subjects
Non Muslims who were taxed were not conscripted into the armies of Aurangzeb.

I just read about this in William Dalrymple's "The Anarchy". The sack of Delhi was on a such a large scale that it truly ruined what was left of the Mughals, not just financially, but politically. However, they were in a profoundly weakened state by that point due to other factors.
Such excellent, comprehensive work!

One of my former profs once said that Shah Jahan loved mangoes so much that he ate so many in one sitting that he got sick with terrible diarrhea and subsequently became terribly dehydrated, and this set off the rumors that he was on his deathbed which, in turn, caused his four sons to mobilize their forces and war against each other, with Awrangzayb being triumphant. Then Awrangzayb would so weaken the Mughal Empire in the second half of his reign in all his wars that it facilitated the Europeans getting footholds in the Indian subcontinent with England/G. Britain eventually taking over. Thus, mangoes were a cause thereof. I don't know if this is true, but it is an interesting anecdote.
India was rich even before Mughal.
They enforced jizya on non-muslims.
Taxashila and Nalanda Universities were in India before the Mughal.
Mughal came from deserts and barren lands of the middle East to the greenery and abundance in India.
Indian architecture was very much evolved even before Mughals.
Yes they did contribute many things but Indian civilization and history is way older than Islam itself.

52:25 Malik Ambar helped found the city of Aurangabad, which is one of India's must-see destinations. It is near to the otherworldly and breathtaking sights of Ellora and Ajanta Hindu/Buddhist Caves as well as being a day trip away from one of India's premier natural wonders, Lonar Lake, which is a product of a meteor impact some 500,000 years ago. Aurangabad city features: a gorgeous Taj Mahal-like tomb, the extraordinary Daulatabad Fort which sits on top of a high hill with its sides shaved off to create a moat, and one of the most lively market districts I've seen in India. I spent a week here and every day was an adventure full of intrigue and discovery.

For a balanced view its important to avoid terms like Mughals “civilised” and created a “unified India” because it implies it wasn’t already civilised. India has been unified multiple times prior to Islamic arrival and by the local Hindu Marathas. Buddhism and epics like Ramayan originated in India and spread all over Asia. South East Asian languages borrow heavily from Sanskrit and Tamil. Their written scrips are based on South Indian Brahmi script. Not to mention a lot of foundational mathematicians later built upon by Arabs in places like Baghdad occurred in early India. I know some Hindus are revisionist by saying all Muslim rule was ONLY characterised by loot but many Muslims (mainly Pakistanis and Bangladeshis) have this idea that India was always some uncivilised superstitious countries with “dirty idolaters” living in huts before Islam came along to civilise us. We have ALWAYS been a great civilisation.
I looked through my script again. I didn't use the word "civilized" at all. What video are you watching?
@@AlMuqaddimahYT not in relation to you more so people who may be commenting. Whenever there is a debate re Mughals there are commenters mainly from Pakistan who say India became civilised upon the arrival of Islam. There have been Afghans who told me that they developed India impkying that it wasn’t before. Not claiming you have said that but the general community has.

During the reign of Aurangazeb India held the highest GDP in the whole world which we cannot even imagine now. We still have resources that put us there but unfortunately the politics , corruption and illiteracy is so bad now.

In the Islamic storm, only one Hindu kingdom stood successfully, and that was the Marathas.
Realistically speaking, this battle for control was less about religion and more about political dominion. These same Mughals annexed and subjugated local Muslim states, while promoting their Rajput in-laws. India would have likely converted to Islam if it had remained under the rule of local Muslims, instead of constantly being plundered by detached Afghan or Turkic rulers.

when talking about Jizya, why is it said to be done for take sake of humiliation? In Islam, Zakah (2.5% of the wealth one possesses above the nisab) was given to the poor by any Muslim that could afford it yearly. In tern it helped the economy with circulation of finance. Non Muslims did not provide Zakah. Thus non Muslim merchants were taxed so the wealth still had circulation, the non muslims had to give something to help the economy as well.Thus it can be said Jizya was taken from non Muslims in par to that, every citizen in it contributes to the empire, additionally it was only taken from a certain portion of non Muslims that had enough wealth, and it was taken to aid military in an otherwise giant empire.
India should charge tax on Muslims based on religion. 😊
if you read, other then Jizya, in the annals and biography of mughal rulers, the wars were simply not based on a political motive but also religious, and even after the victory prisoners of war were made to convert to Islam against their will. slavery was prominent and prisoners of war were sold as slaves. while Indian rulers rarely raised the temples, if it was done so the deity was housed carefully in another much elaborately built and lavish temple.
This is incredible work! 💪🏽💪🏽.
India's population growth accelerated under the Mughal Empire, with an unprecedented economic and demographic upsurge which boosted the Indian population by 60% to 253% in 200 years during 1500-1700. The Indian population had a faster growth during the Mughal era than at any known point in Indian history prior to the Mughal era.

Islamic rule in India was a form of colonialism, characterized by the imposition of a foreign islamic culture, religion, and political system on the Indian subcontinent. Muslims were foreign invaders who came to India and imposed their Islamic faith and culture on the indigenous population. They point to examples of the destruction of Hindu temples, the imposition of Jizya tax on non-Muslims, and the forced conversions to Islam as evidence of this colonialist mindset.
LOL. Retarded points like yours only serve to peg India back in terms of its economic and social developmet, while neighboring countries like China steamrolls ahead with its economic growth thanks to zero distractions like the ones that you raise

The descendants of Timur who ruled in India called themselves Chaghtai Turks and looked down upon the Mughals or Mongols as half - barbarians .
Rise and Fall of the Mughal Empire, Vol 1., Ram Prasad Tripathi
Central Book Depot, 1960 p.1
The fact remains , in any case , that the people of India were accustomed to call their northern invaders Mughals , and that those invaders were for the most part both physically and mentally what are usually called Turks .

Mughal is the Persian word for Mongol, but the Timurids considered themselves Turks. They were known as Mughals in the Indian subcontinent because there the term had come to designate the Turkish-speaking military elite of central Asia.

The history aspect was well done, the loud music between sections was annoying however.
True, when you listen with a headset your ears get blown up.
"The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history." -- Will Durant
They imposed non-secular radical version of Islam which caused partition of India on the ground of religion. We are trying to get rid of that dark past of our nation. What they did was took indigenous culture and branded it their own. In around 700 CE, the Abbasid caliphate was witness to the golden period of Islam where written works on Indian origin and ancient Greece were heavily translated.
Then later when they invaded deeper parts of India (Delhi, Bengal) after 400-450 years they made it a point to destroy indigenous monuments (glorious temples, stupas) and converted them into Islamic structures like mosques and mausoleums. They burned libraries / ancient universities in an attempt to wipe out indigenous knowledge of the land. How many precious works of knowledge in the form of manuscripts would have been wiped out... Destroyed heritage buildings which had thousands of years of history in the name of war against idolatry. Brought culture, huh? More like attempted to decimate culture. Indians are waking up to this new reality. What you are presenting is the old leftist historians version of Islamic history (developed at the AMU by the likes of Irfan Habib's father), conveniently hiding the inconvenient aspects.
Cry harder sanghi
@@abhinavpatil759 Learn about "ideological subversion" carried out by the Leftist/Marxists/Islamists lobby. Don't act like their dhimmis. Or I will have to wish you get well soon.
@@abhinavpatil759 Dhimmi, did you pay your jizya tax yet? It is not your fault the Leftists/Islamists have not let the true history of India to make it to the books.
These crafty leftists have been fooling innocent converted Muslims to own the brutal history of foreign (Turkic/Mongol etc) invaders by calling these invasions "Islamic", and skillfully not calling British invasions "Christian". The converted Muslims started to wrongly think they belonged to a foreign culture, which led to their radicalization and them thinking they did not belong to this land. India's partition was a result of this manufactured division.
Shah jehan literally had thousands of options. He could have legally married four women and could have taken hundreds more in his harem. Despite all this he slept and impregnated that one woman who had been with him for so long. I think that's about the height of true love that a woman could have got in 17th century.

@@MohsinRaza-uq2ow yes he did in the timur video I thought it was funny

Would help if you made one about the Bengal Sultanate or Malay Sultanates.
Emperor Aurangzeb has been one of the most righteous and unique rulers in history. He was a brilliant economist. He is the man who alone defeated the English, Chinese and Portuguese. One king mastering multiple disciplines. Other kings such as Louis XVI of France praised him a few times. During Aurangzeb's sharia reign Mughal India surpassed Qing China and became the world's largest economy, worth 1/4 of global GDP and waved the Proto-industrialisation (Bengal showed signs of a possible Industrial Revolution, hence preceding England, but the British deindustrialised its economy starting from the Battle of Plassey). Gujarat recovered from a famine due to his policies based from Islamic finance (Fatwa Alamgiri). As a practicing Muslim, Aurangzeb memorised the entire Holy Quran and never took a penny from the Royal treasury for his personal use like the other monarchs (he imprisoned his father due to his corruption with the treasury), he avoided a luxurious life and by profession he was cap sewer despite being born with golden spoon...Aurangzeb was also the first one to defeat the English (Anglo-Mughal War) and took Mount Kailash from the Chinese. He repelled Tai-Ahom attacks from Assam and protected the hindus and drove back the Portuguese inquisition coming to the north. Stories of the demolitions of temples were highly exaggerated, he paid maintenance for the temples and gave good wages to the hindu priests. He was the greatest and most pious Emperor in Indian history.
Just like Narendra Modi
@@vladtheimpaler5454 this doesn't make sense, but yes he is like vlad the impaler!!! Maybe slightly better
Am I right to compare the gunpowder states, or maybe just the mughals, to early dark ages europeans? The feeling of a man and his warband conquering a bunch of farmers and religious folk, setting himself up as king with his warband holding power, no central beaurocracy, just the king riding around, issuing commands. Over the years slowly assimilating to the local standards, but bringing their culture into the folds as well. The styles of timur and babur remind me a lot of mervingian and carolingian kings
The Mughals (1526-1858) lost control of India in the 1700s, but many of the local rulers who replaced them were also Turks, at least until the British took over.

Marathas were Major power in india after Mughals and before British. Marathas conquered Delhi in 1737 , forced Mughals to par heavy tributaries and treaty was signed in which malwa came under maratha rule. Nizams and nawabs tried to stop maratha but they were also defeat in battle of bhopal. Then Mughal empire weaken by Nader Shah invasion. Again Maratha conquered Delhi in 1757. Mughals became poor af
Also the Sikhs controlled territories of Punjab, parts of Kashmir and Afghanistan and Rajputs strengthened their territories
@@adityabanerjee7145 later they were eaten alive by the British 😂😂
We should be more concerned what our current politicians r doing than dwelling so much in history.
Extremely insightful, except for the part where you criticise jizya for non Muslims because Muslims too had to practice giving zakat which more often than not were more costly than jizya. Not to mention majority of the general population had income less than what is needed to pay jizya.
Taxing someone to pay one part of the earning for Donation cant be compared with taxing someone just because he is of different religion.
Jaziya is criticized not majorly because of its economic Impact, but because of its Psychological Impact where you are taxing all other people who are from other religion, a kind of soft force for conversion too. & even worse than Jaziya was the Pilgrimage Tax.
Zakat is higher than jizya.
@@m.aryaanamiri2755zakat is only for poor muslim help. No one else. Whereas, poor hindu,sikh,jain had to pay jizya and not received any zakat.
@@ujjalkumar3518 where did you get that?Zakat is for poor people in general,regardless of religion.Do some research before larping.
@@ujjalkumar3518
There is no zakat, not only for the poor, but also for soldiers, travellers, poor people and slaves.
