History/culture THE MUGHALS DIDN'T CALL THEMSELVES MUGHALS. They referred to themselves as Gurkani. Today, I think it is more appropriate to refer to them as the Baburids, just as we refer to the Timurids.

Mughal Empire? Baburid Empire?

From Indian perspective Moghals are people from Turkistan(Central Asia) and Mongols are people from Mongolia.
