Conquest of India - A Historical Paradox!

Comments

Here's as much as I have on the Mughals; oh, and the Emperor's name is correctly pronounced Baaaa ~ bur; it is a little known fact he was a sheep! 1497 In the Khanate of Ferghana, Babur, a Descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur, Ascends to the Throne at the Age of 11. 1501 In the Khanate of Ferghana, Babur again lays Siege to Samarkand and Briefly Captures the City, only to, in Turn, be Besieged by his Rival, Muhammad Shaybani, Khagan of the Uzbeks. The Situation becomes such that Babur is Compelled to give his Sister, Khanzada, to Shaybani in Marriage as a Part of the Peace Settlement. Only after this are Babur and his Troops Allowed to leave Safely. 1504 In the Arghun Empire, Babur Besieges and Conquers Kabul from the Remaining Arghuns, Gaining a new Kingdom and a Temporary Respite from his Uzbek Troubles. 1510 2nd December In the Persian Empire, Muhammad Shaybani is Slain in Battle against the Persians near Merv, Persia, while trying to Escape. He will be Remembered by Future Historians as the Uzbek Leader who Consolidated the Various Uzbek Tribes and Laid the Foundations for their Ascendancy in Transoxiana and the Establishment of the Emirate of Bukhara. The Islamic Author Nisari Recognised Shaybani as a Scholar of the Quran, and he Maintained Ties with the Distant Byzantine Empire. 1530 26th December In the Mughal Empire, Babur, Founder of the Mughal Empire, Passes away at the Age of 47 in the of Agra, Uttar Pradesh. He will be Remembered by Future Historians as a National Hero in Uzbekistan, where many of Babur’s Poems will become Popular Uzbek Folk Songs, Especially by Sherali Joʻrayev, and some Sources will Claim that Babur is a National Hero in Kyrgyzstan too. It will Generally be Agreed that, as a Timurid, Babur was not only Significantly Influenced by Persian Culture, but also that his gave Rise to the Expansion of Persianite Ethos in the Indian Subcontinent and he Emerged in his Own Right as a Timurid Renaissance Inheritor, leaving Signs of Islamic, Artistic Literary and Social Aspects in India. In the Mughal Empire, Babur’s Son Humayun becomes Mughal Emperor at the Age of 22. Immediately, Several of his Brothers Rebel against him. 1600 In the Persian Empire, by this Date, the Persian Empire is Experiencing a Revival after many Years of Violence. Ever since it had Broken away from a Splintering China in the 1100s, it has Carried on under the Radar of, First of all, Ethnically Chinese Kings, giving way to Kings of Mixed Race, and, Finally, Ethnically Persian Kings. Ever since China’s Crackdown on Islam the People have Followed a wide Assortment of Religions, Generally depending on and Ethnic Group. By 1600, the Major Religions of Persia are , Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism in that Order. The Lack of the Complete Control of any One Group Leads to a Liberalisation of Thought, and, as the Central Government becomes more Potent, Members of all Major Religions are to be found in the Government Structure. Also, Persia Benefits from Acting as a Business Corridor between the Byzantine and Mughal Empires, and Serves as an Ally of both , in Particular the Mughals. 1603 In the Persian Empire, Shah Abbas I Signs an Alliance with Emperor Akbar of the Mughal Empire against the Emirate of Bukhara. The Two Empires Declare War against the Emirate of Bukhara. The Emirate is Conquered and Divided between the Persian and the Mughal Empires.

As the Emperor was proclaimed missing, THIS just flashed into my head: "There's a Party Here in India, Tis' a most expensive thing, But there's something missing Yes, what's that?! Where is the King?"
