1. Introduction
The Mughals were a dynasty that ruled much of the Indian subcontinent from 1526 to 1707. The empire included parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan, present-day Iran and Iraq, parts of Central Asia and the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The Mughal Empire was the first major empire in world history to be built on an international scale, with its influence reaching from Europe to India, extending from Southeast Asia to India and beyond.
The political organization was based on a decentralised central government controlled by a hereditary nobility called Mughals who served in various senior military positions.
The Mughal Empire was loosely based on the Mamluk dynasty founded in 1250 after the Ottomans had conquered Egypt.

This dynasty eventually became known as ‘the House of Osman’ (Osmanlı) after their sultan Osman I (1566–1603).
2. The mughal empire
The Mughals were a dynasty of kings in North India, who ruled the country of India between 1526 and 1858. Their empire spanned from 1526 to 1858, when they lost it to an invading British force.
The Mughal empire was one of the largest empires in history, covering large parts of present-day India and Pakistan. The Mughals have been described as an "imperial" dynasty. They ruled the Indian subcontinent with a combination of "tranquillity and threat".
The term ‘mughal’ was originally a Persian word meaning ‘royal’, but came to be used to describe all those people associated with the Mughals – regardless of their ethnic origins. The name was later applied as a title by various Muslim dynasties that ruled India before and after the Mughals.

The first written record for the land now known as India is found in Ptolemy's Geography (c. 100 AD). The Sanskrit name for South Asia is Dravidiki (also known as Daulatabad), which translates as "land inhabited by people who speak Dravidian languages." This appears to have been used in one way or another since at least 300 BCE.

He even invaded northern India twice during his lifetime: first in 327 CE during his conquest of Gandhara (Hindi: Gandhāra), and then again in 337 CE during his conquest of Taxila (Hindi: Taxila).

Mongol overlord Babur had also ruled north-western parts of Afghanistan beginning around 1000; he conquered Kabul in 1530 and founded the Mughal dynasty there from 1540 – 1555/6. His son Humayun followed him into Kabul; however he died there in 1530/1 fighting against Timur Lenk on behalf of Babur's son Shah Jahan. Humayun's death ended Babur's hopes for an Afghan empire; he returned to Delhi where he died on 20 January 1629/30 at age 55 after nine months on campaign against Aurangzeb.

3. The arts of Mughal empire
The point of this video is not to celebrate the mughal empire, but rather to demonstrate what happens when we take an extremely simple idea and try to turn it into something more engaging and compelling by adding music, graphics and sound effects. In fact, if you look closely at the video you will notice that I have taken every effort to make this work as well as possible while keeping it very simple in design.
This brings us to another point: product quality is closely connected with aesthetics.

Using a high-quality visual language (images and animations) can easily be seen as an exercise in branding or an attempt to establish a brand identity. It is also something we can do because it’s actually quite easy: just tell your brand story in words and then show people how they can get involved in your story by using your product or service. If you just want to create good products, then you don’t need fancy visuals; there are plenty of companies out there that deliver on that promise without spending any money (e.g., IKEA). But if you want to elevate your products into things other than mere fakes, then you need fancy visuals, be them logos or even images with all their own meanings (such as Apple’s “1984” logo). However, if you are trying to create something really good (or really bad…), then you will need visual aids that can help people visualize the value proposition and come up with their own ideas about how they should use it as well as how they should spend time using it — both during use and after they bought it (or not).
To sum up all this rather long post: one way to make sure that your company is truly raising its game is giving designers more power over its marketing mix…

4. Conclusion
In the words of a famous quote, “A man who is ignorant cannot be an artist; a man who can be an artist can only be ignorant.”
A related thought is that there are a great many things you can learn from the works of other people, it’s just that they were not so big fans of each other.
The Indian subcontinent (and much of South Asia) was home to several great empires — the Mughal, Nizam’s and later the British. Many of these were far more powerful than their European counterparts — and certainly much more powerful than their American counterparts. They were also far more creative. In this regard, one could argue that they are better at what they do than anyone else, and more importantly, many of their ideas have come to us through living in this incredibly rich environment for 500 years: ideas for new technologies, new business models and new ways to create value for customers.
