Babur was the descendant of Timur who tried to restore his ancestor's empire. However, Babur didn't especially like the Mongol race and his empire became known as the Mughal Empire.
The Mughal emperor Akbar is known for setting the precedent of being tolerant toward other religions. He promoted a policy of religious tolerance and integration, encouraging dialogue and acceptance among different faiths within the Mughal Empire.
Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur (1526-1530), the ruler of Ferghana, defeated the Delhi Sultan Ibrahim Lodi and established the Mughal Empire in India. Thus the Delhi Sultanate came to an end.
When the East India Company established its presence in India in the early 17th century, the Mughal Empire was the dominant power. At that time, the Mughal Emperor was Jahangir, who ruled from 1605 to 1627. The Company initially focused on trade and established its first factory in Surat in 1613, operating under the Mughal authority.

One major effect of the Mughal Empire's trade policy in the 1700s was the increased integration of India into global trade networks, particularly with European powers. The empire's policies facilitated the export of valuable commodities like spices, textiles, and precious stones, which attracted European merchants and led to the establishment of trading companies, such as the British East India Company. This influx of trade not only boosted the Mughal economy but also set the stage for increased foreign influence and eventual colonial domination in India.
After the dazzling period of the Gupta Empire and the reign of the Sultanate of Delhi, India saw the emergence of the largest ever empire with the rise of the Mughal rule in the country. The term 'Mughal' is the Persian equivalent of the term 'Mongol". The founder of this new state in India was Zahir-Ud-din Muhammad Babur, a descendant of Jenghis Khan and Timur the Lame. Babur had been thrown out of Central Asia earlier by the Uzbeks, but he managed to gain control of Afghan territories and then set his eyes on India by conquering which he could become more powerful and richer. In 1518 and 1524 he attacked India and in 1525 he led a well organized army to Delhi. In the battle of Panipat, in 1526, he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the last of the Delhi Sultans. The next year he defeated the Rajputs and then he succeeded in capturing most of the Ganges Valley. In the Mughal dynasty he founded, six emperors were famous - Babur (1526 -1530), Humayun (1530 - 1556), Akbar (1556 - 1605), Jehangir (1605 - 1627), Shah Jehan (1627 -1658), and Aurangazeb (1658 -1707). Of these, Akbar and Shah Jehan were two of the most important emperors in the history of India.
His capital when he attacked was Kabul, then Peshawar. After defeating the Lodis at Panipat in 1526, Babur set up his capital in Delhi. It was located in the area near what is today Pragati Maidan.
Trade with European powers during the 17th century significantly impacted the Mughal Empire by introducing new goods, technologies, and ideas, while also fostering economic growth through increased commerce. European demand for Indian textiles, spices, and other commodities led to a flourishing trade network, enhancing the empire's wealth. However, this interaction also brought challenges, as the presence of European traders and their eventual military interests began to undermine Mughal authority and contribute to internal strife. Ultimately, the growing influence of European powers set the stage for later colonial interventions in India.

the sun never set on the british empire because britain had many colonies around the world.
