In 1526 the Mughals, who were from
Turkey, invaded India and surrounding areas. They wanted wealth,
power and a chance to convert Hindus to Islam. For 300 years the
Mughals controled what is now India and Pakistan. They shaped
the religion, politcal and economic systems, as well as everyday
life. The Mughals brought new religion, new styles of art, new
ambitions towards architecture and an overall different culture.
At the fall of the Mughal dynasty, in the late 1700's, the Bristish
then took control of Inida; however, Mughal influence can still
be seen in the present day.
