Mughal Literature

During the Mughal Period there was a tremendous amount of literature that was created. The main focus on literature during this time period was religion. This Carried on into today's society because religion plays a vital role of the people of Pakistan. Many libraries were established due to the Mughal's great interest in literature. Also, during the Mughal period many things were translated; the Hymns that were eventually evolved into the music that is listened to still today. Something I found interesting was that everything was written on palm leaves until the 16TH Century when printing was established. The Mughal's are overall known for their historical works, their translations such as the hymns, and poetry and novels. The Mughal's were very dedicated to their education and always took great pride in their knowledge and literature.
