Question
Why did the Mughals emphasise their Timurid and not their Mongol descent?
✓
Answer
The Mughals did not emphasise their Mongol descent because Mongol's especially Genghis Khan's, memory was associated with massacre of innumerable people. It was also linked with the Uzbegs, their Mongols competitors. On the other hand, the Mughals were proud of their Timurid ancestry, because Timur captured Delhi in 1398.
