Question
Mughals could establish their rule in India.
✓
Answer
At the beginning of the 16th century, the political condition in India was somewhat disturbed.
The Sultanate’s rule had begun to decline after Muhammad Tughluq. The Delhi Sultanate broke down completely and many new independent kingdoms emerged in North, Central, and South India.
The Bahamani kingdom got divided into five branches. The prosperous Vijaynagar empire was’ destroyed by the five Islamic ruling houses in the South.
During the same period, the Portuguese began to settle on the western coast of India. The traditional military system of the Indian rulers in the medieval period was not capable of facing the onslaught of new challenges.
The Indians were not familiar with modern weaponry. Taking advantage of all this, the Mughals established their rule in India.
