The Mughal Empire ruled parts of the Indian Subcontinent for more than three centuries. In that time, it transformed India into what it is today. The Mughals came as outsiders from Central Asia who conquered India with steel and gunpowder but overtime, they became as Indian as well, Biryani is, which, by the way, developed in the Mughal kitchens. They gave many things to India, from food to architecture and even languages. Their law-code, to a large extent, is used even today in India. They created one of history’s richest empires which contributed something like a fourth of the world’s GDP at its peak. Its first six rulers, also known as the Great Mughals, crafted modern India to such a large extent that their legacy is being discussed even today, from libraries and universities to parliaments. Theirs is the legacy we’ll go over in this video. This is the story of the Great Mughal Empire.

2 more corrections in this video aurangzeb won Battle of Satara & gingee annexed to mughal empire
Make a deep research before making video
The Battle of Satara was fought between the Mughal Empire and Maratha Empire between 1699–1700. The battle started when the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb personally marched towards Satara, accompanied by 10,000 Mughal soldiers. He aimed to finally capture Satara, the center of the Maratha realm.
Aurangzeb himself went to satara at the age of 83 with 10k armies & captured satara raja Ram ran to 🏃♂️ gingee fort which is now a days in tamilnadu later Aurangzeb went to gingee and captured gingee as well annexed to mughal empire
Battle of gingee👇
The siege of Jinji, (September 1690–8 January 1698), began when the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb appointed Zulfiqar Ali Khan as the Nawab of the Carnatic and dispatched him to besiege and capture Jinji Fort, which had been sacked and captured by Maratha Empire troops led by Rajaram, they had also ambushed and killed about 300 Mughal Sowars in the Carnatic. The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb then ordered Ghazi ud-Din Khan Feroze Jung I to protect the supply routes leading to Jinji Fort and to support and provide reinforcements to Zulfiqar Ali Khan when needed.[2][3]
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.
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
Excellent video 📹
Comprehensive
Some call Aurangazeb a religious bigot but the unknown truth is Aurangazeb had more Rajput in his court then Akbar had and he gave lavish money and gold to rebuild temple which delhi sultanate and Ghor destroyed and he preserved it as ancient civilization of Hindustan, Aurangazeb and Ashoka are most important person in India's history indeed Ashoka had Nepal Balochistan and small part of east iran under him which is some what extra territory than Aurangazeb but during Aurangazeb period economy was booming it was at peak India was top of gdp in world
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.
It's india which made the Mughals rich not the other way around. Mughal destroyed hindu temples and killed hindus in thousands and thousands.
This is the quality content I subscribed to. Discovered your channel about a year ago, and loved it ever since.
Your accent is very confusing
I will definotely donate.
Amazing quality content in a shockingly underappreciated part of history. I'm seriously considering joining your patreon
Mughals r not liked by non muslim Indians.
This presenter is a jerk…. how date this jerk call any warrior or ruler a jerk. This presenter is not talented enough to carry urine of these great people of history. It is a shame as this would have been an excellent historical account but the present tried to be " clever with sarcasm" but fails miserably. I was thinking of donating a modest amount to the patron account but the presenter's stupidity has stopped this. IF HE CAN TAKE THIS AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO IMPROVE HIMSELF AND HIS STYLE OF NARRATION THEN THERE IS HOPE FOR HIM BUT I WOULD SUSPECT HE WOULD ATTACK MY CRITICISM.
Love from India! Your videos are helping a lot for upsc civil service exams preparation. Hope you make more videos on Indian history.
Can you cover delhi sultanate and ancient India before 1 AD as well ??
Mughals did not make india what it is….. It was already great before mughals came
Your videos are helping me a lot….thank you 👏🏻👏🏻
which video can i go to next that continues from here?
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.
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
It’s quite funny how Hindus in India nowadays along with their Hindu fascist Govt., are trying hard to erase Mughals from the Indian history . Such ungrateful & insecure bunch of people.
Mughal Empire is as large in india as my pennis….
Hail to my Turanic cousins!
Well.. aurangzeb certainly wasn't great….. , so maybe change the title??? To the mughals … or remove aurangzebs name from it.. cause it was under him that brits gained more trading rights and set things up in India, not to mention his ruining of royal treasury on southern campaigns… full waste of time and money and most importantly.. his imprisonment of his father
Calls them the "great" mughals, yet can't even put (ﷺ) in the title of one of his other videos.
The mughals were massively overrated, and had a well known kazzab and dajjal by the name of Akbar, another well known kazzab and dajjal of qadian also claimed to be of mughal descent.
