In my reading I learned that there have been a lot of religions that have passed through India. The main religion though in India is Hinduism. Buddhism showed it’s self for the first by with a man named Zarathustra who perched renunciation of desire as the key to human salvation. It’s one of the worlds greatest religious it had large influence on people through out the land.
With the change of religion there also has been change or people who have taken control of India one such group are the Mughals. The Mugals took over India in 1519 lead by a man who said he was the decent of Genghis Khan who was once a Mugal leader. With the rule of the Mughals India was looking very bright with many great leaders. One of the greatest leaders was Akbar who some compared to Elizabeth of England; he was big on art and literature. When Akbar took control of the empire he was very young with that he had advisors who helped him through until he was older and he took full control of the empire himself. He ruled and empires with many religions to get Hindu support he threw out poll taxes which strengthen him rein as emperor. Akbar made the administration of system that linked land with military. This helped seeing commanders of troops with this system as with payment then you got 10 then you’d get 10,000 troops in your command.
Mughals brought their own type of art to India when they came it was know as Indo-Persian. With Abkar was big on building up his empire he mad schools, ponds, and great monuments. He also had Fathpur-Sikri built as a celebration for his first son being born. They built many great buildings under the Munghal rain such as the Lofty Portal which is called the perfect architectural achievement in India. Its color weathered to a soft rose. It has red pillars of sand stone with balconies and much more.
