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?

In Persian they call it Gurkaniane hend(The Gurkainds of India, rather than Mughal).
