The '''Mughal Empire''', ({{lang-hi|मुग़ल साम्राज्य}}, {{lang-fa|دولتِ مغل}}) was an [[empire]] in [[Asia]] which existed from 1526 to 1858. The Mughal rule over [[India]] is called an Empire because it stretched over a large area. When it was biggest it ruled most of the [[Indian subcontinent]], then known as [[Indian subcontinent|Hindustan]],{{cn}} and parts of what is now India, [[Afghanistan]] and modern [[Pakistan]] and [[Bangladesh]], between 1526 and 1707. Worth 25% of world GDP, it was the world's largest economy and it was well known for having signalled the proto-industrialization and for its lavish architecture.<br />
<br />
The Mughal emperors were [[Turco-Mongol|Turk-Mongols]] originally.<ref name="Richards1995">{{citation |last=Richards |first=John F. |title=The Mughal Empire |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HHyVh29gy4QC |year=1995 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=6 |isbn=978-0-521-56603-2}}</ref> [[Babur]] of the [[Timurid dynasty]] founded the Mughal Empire (and [[Mughal dynasty]]) in 1526 and ruled until 1530. He was followed by [[Humayun]] (1530-1540) and (1555-1556), [[Akbar]] (1556-1605), [[Jahangir]] (1605-1627), [[Shah Jahan]] (1628-1658), and the Islamic [[Aurangzeb]] (1658-1707) and several other minor rulers until Bahadur Shah Zafar II(1837-1857). After the death of Aurangzeb, the rule through [[sharia]] ended and the Mughal Empire became weak. It continued until 1857-58. By that time, India came under the [[British Raj]].<br />
<br />
The Mughal Empire was established by able Muslim rulers who came from the present-day [[Uzbekistan]]. The Mughal rule in India saw the country being united as one single unit and being administered under one single powerful ruler. During the Mughal period, art and architecture flourished and many beautiful monuments were constructed. The rulers were skillful warriors and admirers of art as well.<br />
<br />
The Mughals left a permanent mark on the society, culture, art and architecture of India. Their monuments, artifacts and literature show a period of great wealth and culture. Paintings in miniature style teach us about the clothing and [[lifestyle]] of the people.<br />
