As an Indian Hindu, I was really ashamed of how little I knew of such an important part of our history. I have learnt much more through this video than in all my years spent at school. You are a compelling narrator. The two hours just flew by!
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.
@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
@@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
I live in a small city "Rohri" in Sindh. Our Jamia Masjid still bears a stone engraved on it is "Sang e Bunyad Akbar Badshah" meaning Inaugural stone by King Akbar. It is believed that Akbar was born in the city of Umerkot in Sindh while his father was running from one city to another.

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.
Thanks a ton for this video and all your work. As an Indian and a Hindu, it's very tough to find well researched and unbiased work regarding Mughals and 7th-8th c Arab campaigns in India. Great to see a channel from our part of the world doing this work ❤️

@@spicybinga7469 not really, it’s no different from all the Indian empires before, all of which were probably worst as they engage in overseas piracy, looting, war mongering and slavery. 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)
@@AshenAshAshythere was no slavery in india before Islamic empires they introduced it in india.....The level of warfare was never this organised because it was between smaller kingdoms so less people died A lot of civilians died during mughal campaigns against marathas

I grew up in Pakistan and learned about Mughal history in grades 6 to 8, but it was only sketchy in my mind. This unbiased documentary in detail was enlightening. Thank you!!
100% love this! Lately there's been this hyper-nationalist Hindu/Indian "documentaries" that make verifiably false claims in the name of ethno-nationalists. Sure the older 20+yrs doc's done by English accented colonial apologists is just as frustrating lol. But you've seemed to have done the impossible.... accurately recount the Mughal empire's possible greatest ruler, without bashing some religion/ethnicity or raising up another. Much love man

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.
Goosebumps at 1:41:33 , as a kid when I read about mughuls the character who excited me the most was Aurangzeb , he tried his best but finally his zid took his peaceful life .

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.
I am excited to see you report on the Mughal Sikh relations and also the rise of the 10th Sikh Guru, his successor General Banda Singh Bahadur, the Sikh Misls and the Sikh Empire. Interesting times here with Persian and Afghan Invasions destabilizing Mughal hold on Punjab
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.
@@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.
Great video, and a great resource for information! I would love for you to a video on the history of certain cities next. The history of Lahore would be an excellent example.
Intriguing and informative overview of the rise and fall of Mughal power in India. Time flew while listening. Thanks, and looking forward to the two promised videos.
It would be great if you could make a video like this for the latter half of the Mughal empire. Basically, going into detail about the empire and its rulers from 1707 until its official dissolution in 1857.
An insightful and engaging video that provides valuable insights on the topic. The presenter's expertise shines through, making this content truly exceptional.💯💯
@@jacksparow25 not really Mughals drained wealth from India people and few elites held all the wealth They taxed Indian citizens heavily enforced jizya, foreign language, alien and barbaric culture on Indians, if they were so great why would Maratha rise in the first place It’s not the first time india was invaded but all the invader enriched Indian culture Kushan, Greeks, hunas and even Turkic Hindu shahis defended india and helped Indian culture to spread across the Silk Road they didn’t impose Farsi but used Sanskrit as a administrative language Now compare it to Mughals
Kohinoor 💎Diamond was in possession of various rulers, it came into possession of Kakatiyas, Alauddin Khilji, Babur, Shah Jahan, Nadir Shah, Ahmad Shah Durrani (Founder of Afghan empire), Maharaja Ranjit Singh and finally, it passed into the hands of British Monarch.
awesome video! great content in general, keep it up! if you could cover the ideologies and imperialism of more contemporary statesmen like nehru, nasser, bhutto or ecevit, that would be lit af! but to keep safe from all the trolls maybe something like the timurid court culture? the one babur grew in
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.
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.
@@swapnaneeldas3227 people like you with hate is the problem of my country right now , I am not speaking about the Islamic history here , i am saying is that we still as Indians have the resources to put the country on the top , but trust me people like you are the reason for its downfall. .

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.
Great video!! It's not easy to find videos about Indian history Is there a bibliography or secondary sources that you would recommend, if somebody wants to go further? Much respect
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.
@@muazzamshaikh2049 The Mauryan Empire had approximately had a population of 25-30 million people at it's peak and Patliputra being the Empire's(and the world's ) largest and populated city. India has historically always been the richest place on this Planet prior to Mughals and had controlled around 35% of the world's GDP.
It's very sad that Shahi Bangla is forgotten and overshadowed by other regional empires when the fact is it was the most prosperous and wealthiest nation in the world
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

Mughal's Took Help With Local Indian King's To Built Empire Akbar To Aurangzeb They TookFrom Jodhpur King's Mughal Empire Rooled 1526 To 1707 In Delhi "✌️
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.
@@georgeghazaryan What's strong ??? ... Yes true ... Chamkaur Sahib battle .... Battle of Saragarhi Battle of Saraighat Battle of Itkhuli Battle of Pavan Khind Siege of Purandhar Sack of Surat
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.
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.
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 .

The remains of the Moghul army had melted away, and the Moghul leaders had been slowly manoeuvred into giving Nader what he wanted. His task had been made easier by the common Turcoman/ Persian culture that the Moghuls and the invaders shared. The Moghul dynasty was originally Turkic or Turco-Mongol, descended directly from Timur himself, and for two centuries had enjoyed a refined Persian court culture. To emphasise their common origin Nader insisted that he and Mohammad Shah should speak together in the Turkic language of the peoples of Central Asia. The terms of the formal document ceding this territory, which we may take to have been directly dictated by Nader, referred again to the two monarchs’ shared Turcoman origin. It genuflected to the memory of the earlier Asiatic conquerors Timur and Genghis Khan in its mention of the family of Gurkan. In the document, Mohammad Shah said of Nader: And out of the Greatness of his Soul, and abundant humanity, in regard to the illustrious Family of Gourgan, and the Honour of the Original Tree of Turkan, [he] was graciously pleased to restore to me the Crown and Gem of Hindostan. Axworthy, M. (2006). Prologue: Zenith. In The Sword of Persia Nader Shah: From Tribal Warrior to Conquering Tyrant (pp. 1-16). London: I.B. Tauris & Co. Ltd.. In letters to Mughal and Ottoman rulers, Nädir, in a parallel way, recalled the past by appealing to his common ancestry with them." He, too, sought to establish a world empire, but one that recognized the legitimacy of the contemporary rulers of India, Iran, Central Asia, and the Ottoman Empire, because, as his letters claimed, they each represented a people (an il) that constituted a legitimate Turkic or Timürid successor to the Mongols in particular regions of the Islamic world." Astarābādī described the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah as being "of the Turkmän tree and the scion of the Gürkânl (i.e. Timürid] family." A letter from Nädir to the Ottoman 1129 Sultan Mahmud I addressed Mahmüd as "the world-illuminating light of the Turkmän royal house.30 Avoiding any specific definitions of these ancestral Turkic ties, Nadir appealed to them as a way to reconnect disparate Muslim realms. In its audacity, Nadir's vision resembled Timür's grandiose plans. Both tried to invent the tradition of an imagined unity that had never actually existed, and could, in any case, only be implemented anyway by glossing over irreconcilable differences. Pfeiffer, J. and Woods, J., n.d. History and historiography of post Mongol Central Asia and the Middle East. pp.338, 339.

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.
A Chaghatai Turk, he claimed descent from both of the great Central Asian conquerors, Timur and, more remotely, Chingiz Khan. It was this connection with the great Mongol invader that gave the dynasty the misleading appellation of "Mughal" or "Mongol." This is especially ironic, since Babur himself had an intense dislike for the Mongols. While it is too late to change the long-accepted nomenclature, it is worth remembering that the Mughal dynasty was Turkish in origin, and the cultural tradition which Babur imported into India was the one which had flourished on the banks of the Oxus. Memoirs of Zehir-ed-Din Muhammed Babur, trans. by J. Leyden and W. Erskine, rev. by Sir Lucas King (2 vols.; London, 1921), provides a firsthand account of Babur's reign.
Brother, this word Mughal was first used by Britishers in their writings, in the late 18th century, that's how this name popped up and became popular in Indian History, 😅✌️.
Rani Mangammal of the Madurai Nayak dynasty played a key role of assisting Zulfiqar Ali Khan. The siege of Jinji, was also the longest siege by any single Mughal Army in recorded history, it lasted for a lingering 8 years.

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.

(2) they are Muslims which rules over non-Muslims (same can be applied to when Hindus rules over others)

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.

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.

Bro really dropped a 2 hour video!! Certified legend
Nice video. You should do one on the travels of Ibn Battuta.
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.

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.

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.

The need for bringing Islamic history as a series from seerah to present day is essential for today's Muslims in this era of testing times
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. 😊
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.

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

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 remains of the Moghul army had melted away, and the Moghul leaders had been slowly manoeuvred into giving Nader what he wanted. His task had been made easier by the common Turcoman/ Persian culture that the Moghuls and the invaders shared. The Moghul dynasty was originally Turkic or Turco-Mongol, descended directly from Timur himself, and for two centuries had enjoyed a refined Persian court culture. To emphasise their common origin Nader insisted that he and Mohammad Shah should speak together in the Turkic language of the peoples of Central Asia.
The terms of the formal document ceding this territory, which we may take to have been directly dictated by Nader, referred again to the two monarchs’ shared Turcoman origin. It genuflected to the memory of the earlier Asiatic conquerors Timur and Genghis Khan in its mention of the family of Gurkan. In the document, Mohammad Shah said of Nader:
And out of the Greatness of his Soul, and abundant humanity, in regard to the illustrious Family of Gourgan, and the Honour of the Original Tree of Turkan, [he] was graciously pleased to restore to me the Crown and Gem of Hindostan.

In letters to Mughal and Ottoman rulers, Nädir, in a parallel way, recalled the past by appealing to his common ancestry with them." He, too, sought to establish a world empire, but one that recognized the legitimacy of the contemporary rulers of India, Iran, Central Asia, and the Ottoman Empire, because, as his letters claimed, they each represented a people (an il) that constituted a legitimate Turkic or Timürid successor to the Mongols in particular regions of the Islamic world." Astarābādī described the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah as being "of the Turkmän tree and the scion of the Gürkânl (i.e. Timürid] family." A letter from Nädir to the Ottoman 1129 Sultan Mahmud I addressed Mahmüd as "the world-illuminating light of the Turkmän royal house.30 Avoiding any specific definitions of these ancestral Turkic ties, Nadir appealed to them as a way to reconnect disparate Muslim realms. In its audacity, Nadir's vision resembled Timür's grandiose plans. Both tried to invent the tradition of an imagined unity that had never actually existed, and could, in any case, only be implemented anyway by glossing over irreconcilable differences.

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.
A Chaghatai Turk, he claimed descent from both of the great Central Asian conquerors, Timur and, more remotely, Chingiz Khan. It was this connection with the great Mongol invader that gave the dynasty the misleading appellation of "Mughal" or "Mongol." This is especially ironic, since Babur himself had an intense dislike for the Mongols. While it is too late to change the long-accepted nomenclature, it is worth remembering that the Mughal dynasty was Turkish in origin, and the cultural tradition which Babur imported into India was the one which had flourished on the banks of the Oxus.
Memoirs of Zehir-ed-Din Muhammed Babur, trans. by J. Leyden and W. Erskine, rev. by Sir Lucas King (2 vols.; London, 1921), provides a firsthand account of Babur's reign.
