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." --$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLibrary of South Asian history and culture ;$vv. 1. 606 $aTimurids$xHistory 606 $aAsian history$2BIC 607 $aIndia$xHistory$y1526-1765 607 $aMogul Empire$xHistory 615 0$aTimurids$xHistory. 615 7$aAsian history. 676 $a954.025 700 $aBalabanlilar$b Lisa$f1958-$01509203 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794734003321 996 $aImperial identity in the Mughal Empire$93740897 997 $aUNINA
