This topic is good, informative and entertaining. In my opinion, Mughals were Great because they were powerful and have left their strong impression in the pages of history. Yes, they were bit voilent in nature and some of them (Aurungzeb) have inflicted barbarism on Hindu people for conversion. But certainly not ALL. Akbar's favourite wife was a hindu .. Jodhabai. Akbar not only allowed her freedom of worshipping and practising hindu rituals but also respected them.
Hilarious.Some r angry Mr.Singh payed homage to Babur instead of Shivaji! Some with Moghuls being called Great! Some say Shah Jahan didnt love Mumtaz! Some claim Taj built by a local small time 'rajput' king! Sir,if u inspect the monument from space u may just find 'traces' of Moghul architecture :) and if u argue Mr.Shah Jahan browbeat this small king to give the land 4 free,u cant descredit dear Mr.Shah for the breathtaking masterpiece in marble that he left 4 us.Cum 2 think of it,ask a foreigner what comes to mind if hears India, definitly most of the firangs will say The Taj only if after poverty.This monument is synonymus with India,n this is where Moghul rule proves a point n this is where their greatness lies.But these guys were but human, dont forget also that we are talking about an era of despotism,(where sons held their fathers captive and rule-by-sword was the norm). If the gujrat tragedy can happen in a democracy today and we witness genocide everyday for no reason in this modern age, u cant blame those power-driven barbaric bygone rulers.We have 2 be proud of the Indian civilization n Moghuls r very much a part of it.
It was a really good article to read. Me being an History Fanatic,i thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I donno why some people are arguing in Hindu massacre, genocide etc etc..This article only puts light on their " Burial Places" and a brief info about their period of rule. No matter what the Hindu fanatics think about, Let more such articles keep coming..! Kudos !!
I am very thankful for producing correct knowledge amomg the young generation and its publication about Mugal Rulers. No govt. can establish on force & swords. They rule about a period of 300 years is not a joke. Somebody blames that they ruled the country with the might of sword, I studied Indian History, the blame is baseless. Some group of people want to destory the peace of the country by spreading poison among the youths. Any how your article is perfect and correct.

You studied history. I also have studied, why dont you bring all your teachers and collegues and let have a proper debate in a common forum as to what is truth. Please do remember to bring out original contexts.
