Akbar AD 1556-1605

After the unwonted death of his father, Akbar was crowned as the emperor at a tender age of thirteen. However, at that time, the Mughal Empire didn't have anything to boast of, save for the Punjab, Agra and Delhi, and was soon left with only the Punjab.

Akbar then did what all the smart ones would do if such a depressing empire is gifted to them; he handed over the reigns of the empire to Bairam Khan. The last years of Akbar's life were marked with increasing tension between him and his son Jahangir, and for other reasons also than Anarkali. Akbar, the greatest Mughal ruler, died of an undiagnosed disease.

Humayun AD 1530-1556


After Babur had been serenely laid to rest in Kabul, it was his son, Humayun, on whose shoulders shifted the massive responsibility of Northern India, and the even more massive tribulations associated with it. Humayun was somewhat learned and scholarly, and living in Pakistan, we know that there's no place for such people in the government. Humayun was a keen astronomer. In fact he died due to a fall from the rooftop of Sher Shah’s Delhi palace in 1554. Thus Humayun ruled in India barely for ten years and died at the age of forty-eight, leaving behind Akbar then only thirteen-year-old as his heir. As a tribute to his father, Akbar later built the Humayun’s tomb in Delhi (completed in 1571), from red sandstone, that would become the precursor of future Mughal architecture.

Zaheeruddin Muhammad Babur (AD 1504-1525)

If you're given a power packed combination of Timur and Changez Khan as paternal and maternal ancestors respectively, you can be sure of getting something wild, untamed and interfering as the product. Yes, you get Babur. It is only natural that Babur poked his nose almost everywhere where it had no business. He derided exactly everything about India: its people, foods, dresses, buildings, animals and vegetation. However, given his dishonorable past record, his pure experiences and trounces in Farghana, Samarkan d and the Punjab, it seems to be a matter of sheer luck that Delhi fell to him. Dramatic to his bones, Babur had excelled in the art of emotional blackmailing. In India, Babur spent much of his time engaged in activities like drinking, singing, dancing, music, literature and painting, and judging.

Mughal Empire

You will be agreed with me that without any reason nobody want to miss any type of strategic Battle Movie. You know that these types of movies are made by following our historical periods. Almost all of the countries have some historical periods. Empire’s periods are one of the most interesting historical periods. We feel good when we compare about our current social structure and our current economic condition with those periods. We feel good when we compare about our current social structure and our current economic condition with those periods. Sometimes we want to go at their domination period, want to join their battle and want to touch their swords. The Mughal Empire is one of the dreamy battle periods in our Empire historical era. So let’s go to that period……….
