The Rise and Fall of the Muhgal Dynasty

The start of the Mughal Dynasty and how they came to power is very important to their history and influence on Pakistan. It started with one man, Zahir Al-Din Muhammad Barbur who invaded Punjab several times before he finally won in 1526. Alhtough he only had this one area of India, he expanded his territory and spread throughout the country taking over more and more land. Barbur invaded India because of a family tradition to recover their lost posessions. After the death of Barabur, his son took over and throughout the years and many different rulers, the dynasty was formed.
However, the Mughal Dyansty could not rule forever, so in 1757 we start to see a decline when the British established control over India by defeating the India Army. Although the Mughals had taken over India, they were able to centralize their governments and contribute to their culture and society.
