The Timurids travelled south: establishing themselves as the new rulers of a region roughly comprising modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, and founding what would become the Mughal Empire (1526-1857). The last survivors of the House of Timur, the Mughals drew invaluable political capital from their lineage, which was recognized for its charismatic genealogy and court culture - the features of which are examined here. By identifying Mughal loyalty to Turco-Mongol institutions and traditions, Lisa Balabanlilar here positions the Mughal dynasty at the centre of the early modern Islamic world as the direct successors of a powerful political and religious tradition." --Provided by publisher.Library of South Asian history and culture ;v. 1.TimuridsHistoryAsian historyBICIndiaHistory1526-1765Mogul EmpireHistoryTimuridsHistory.Asian history.954.025Balabanlilar Lisa1958-1509203UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910794734003321Imperial identity in the Mughal Empire3740897UNINA
