Babur’s victory at Pan pat in 1526 established the
Mughal Empire and ended the reign of the Delhi Sultanate. The
rise of the great Mughal Dynasty in India began with Babur.
Humayun succeeded his father Babur and became
emperor. He was defeated and dislodged by
insurrections of nobles from the old Lodi regime. In
1540, the Mughal domain came under control of
Farid Khan Sur (Shir Shah Sur). Humayun died at
the age of 48 when he fell down the steps of his
library.
Akbar, the most sophisticated Mughal commander
and leader, was only 14 years of age when he
succeeded his father Humayun. Under Akbar's
reign, Muslims and Hindu’s received the same
respect.
Jahangir succeeded his father, Akbar.
1628-1658 Prince Khurram was 35 years old when he ascended the
throne as Shah Jehan, King of the World.
In the summer of 1659, Aurangzeb held a coronation
in the Red Fort where he assumed the title of Alamgir (World
Conqueror). After a bitter struggle with his two brothers, Aurangzeb
was the victor who took the throne
Bahadur Shah II, the last Mughal emperor, was
deposed in 1858. India was brought under the direct rule of the British
Crown. This brought the end of the Mughal Empire.
