    The Mughal Empire self-designated as Gurkani, was an early-modern empire that controlled
    much of South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. Mughal rule was established in Bengal
    after the defeat of the Karrani Afghan Sultan Daud Khan in the battle of Rajmahal, 12 July 1576
    at the hands of Khan Jahan. The Mughal dynasty was notable for its more than two centuries of
    effective rule over much of India; for the ability of its rulers, who through seven generations
    maintained a record of unusual talent; and for its administrative organization. A further
    distinction was the attempt of the Mughals, who were Muslims, to integrate Hindus and Muslims
    into a united Indian state. The Mughal dynasty was founded by Bābur, a dispossessed Timurid
    prince who reestablished himself in Kabul. From his base in Kabul (Afghanistan) he was able to
    secure control of the Punjab region, and in 1526 he routed the forces of the Delhi sultan Ibrāhīm
    Lodī at the First Battle of Panipat. The following year he overwhelmed the Raj put confederacy
    under Rana Sanga of Mewar, and in 1529 he defeated the Afghans of what are now eastern Uttar
    Pradesh and Bihar states. At his death in 1530 Humāyūn the son of Babor, ruled from 1530 to
    1540 and again from 1555 to 1556. Second Mughal ruler of India, who was more an adventurer
    than a consolidator of his empire. Humāyūn inherited the hope rather than the fact of empire,
    because the Afghans and Rajputs were merely restrained but not reconciled to Mughal
    supremacy by the Mughal victories at Panipat. Humayun lost control of the empire to Afghan
    rebels, but Humāyūn’s son Akbar defeated the Hindu usurper Hemu at the Second Battle of
    Panipat and thereby reestablished his dynasty in Hindustan. The greatest of the Mughal emperors
    and an extremely capable ruler, Akbar reestablished and consolidated the Mughal Empire. He
    reigned from 1556 to 1605 and extended Mughal power over most of the Indian subcontinent.
    The political, administrative, and military structures that he created to govern the empire were
    the chief factor behind its continued survival for another century and a half. At Akbar’s death in
    1605 the empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal. After Akbar’s death his son
    Jahāngīr continued both his father’s administrative system and his tolerant policy toward
    Hinduism and thus proved to be a fairly successful ruler. After Jahangir, his son Shah Jahān
    continued Mughal empire. He had an insatiable passion for building, and under his rule the Taj
    Mahal of Agra and the Jāmiʿ Masjid (Great Mosque) of Delhi, among other monuments, were
    erected. His reign marked the cultural zenith of Mughal rule. After Shah Jahan, his son
    Aurangzeb continued ruling. He was the last of the great Mughal emperors. Under him the
    Mughal Empire reached its greatest extent, although his policies helped lead to its dissolution.
    But the Mughal Empire continues, since Babor to Bahādur Shah II. The Mughal period also
    known for its cultural influence and its architectural achievements
