The Mughal Empire
The Mughal Empire ruled most of northern India from the 1526 to the 1857. The Mughal rulers practiced the religion of Islam. Most of the people they ruled practiced Hinduism. Even so, the Mughals were able to rule successfully.
The founder of the Mughal Empire was named Babur. He was descended from Genghis Khan, who had founded the Mongol Empire in Mongolia more than 300 years earlier. In 1526 Babur conquered the Indian sultanate, or kingdom, called Delhi. By his death in 1530 he controlled much of northern India.
