History

Northern India has long been a battleground for powerful invaders who established vast empires, shaping the region’s culture, politics, and economy. Among these, the Kushan Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire stood out for their foreign origins and lasting influence on Indian civilization.

The Kushans, originally from Central Asia, played a vital role in connecting India with the Silk Road, fostering trade and spreading Buddhism across the subcontinent.

The Delhi Sultanate, founded by Turkic and Afghan rulers, introduced Islamic governance, transforming India's political landscape through military conquests and administrative innovations.

Later, the Mughal Empire, with its Timurid roots, brought about a golden age of Indo-Islamic culture, marked by architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, advancements in art, and economic prosperity.

These empires, though foreign in origin, became deeply intertwined with India's history, leaving behind a complex yet enduring legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural exchange.
