Founded in 1526 by Babur, the Mughal Empire would come to dominate the Indian subcontinent and much of southern Asia. Under successive generations of Babur’s descendants, India would emerge as a cultural giant on the global stage. Through careful political, religious and cultural control, the Mughals created a formidable imperial court to rival and inspire its European contemporaries.
This course will introduce you to Babur and his son, Humayun, contemporaries of England’s Henry VIII. We will then follow the family line, through Akbar and Jahangir to Shah Jahan, under whose supervision the legendary ‘temple to love’, the Taj Mahal, would be constructed. The course will end with an examination of the brutal coup and controversial regime of Aurangzeb which, arguably, led to the empire’s eventual decline.
Aim of this course: to discover the history of the Mughal Empire under the descendants of Babur, from 1530-1707.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
? Name one or more of the Mughal Emperors in power during the period.
? Place the Mughal Empire within the context od world history, with reference to one or more of its European contemporaries.
? Describe and discuss one or more aspects of Mughal culture during this period.
