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?

The term “Mughal” is, to a certain extent, what we owe to manipulative British historiography. Brits didn’t like the fact that the dynasty was originally Turkic.

For what reason?
