The ancestors of the Indo-Turkic people migrated to South Asia at the time of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. The Delhi Sultanate is a term used to cover five short-lived, Delhi-based kingdoms two of which were of Turkic origin in medieval India namely the Mamluk dynasty (Delhi) and Tughlaq dynasty. Other Turkic dynasties which ruled in South Asia include Ghaznavids, Mughal Empire, and Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad.
Southern India also saw many Turkic origin dynasties like the Adil Shahi dynasty, the Bidar Sultanate, and the Qutb Shahi dynasty collectively known as the Deccan sultanates. The Mughal Empire was an empire of Turko-Mongol origin that, at its greatest territorial extent, ruled most of the South Asia, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and parts of Uzbekistan from the early 16th to the early 18th centuries. The Mughal dynasty was founded by a Chagatai prince named Babur (reigned 1526–30), who was descended from the Turko-Mongol conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) on his father's side and from Chagatai, second son of the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan, on his mother's side. There is also a significant population of turkic descendants known as Rowther, mostly found in Southern India.[1]
