    The Ottoman and Mughal empires were two of the greatest and most successful empires to ever form in history. However, they both had some similarities as well as differences. Both empires went through tough periods of time, but at some point they also went through times of growth and prosperity. Although the Ottoman and Mughal Empire both did not force conversions into Islam, the Ottoman’s development relied on their tough military force, while the decline of the Mughal Empire was caused by Aurangzeb’s policy of religious persecution and high taxes.…

    The Mughal empire was founded by a Chagatai Turk named Babur, who claimed descent from both Chinggis Khan and Tamerlane. The Mughal was a very influential empire, but it reached its greatest point under the leadership of Aurangzeb. During his reign, Aurangzeb conducted a continuous campaign to impel Mughal authority deep into the southern India. The Mughals were also known to be a very rich and powerful empire. They used their wealth to build up their military and to show other nations how easily they could buy advanced weaponry and armor to strengthen their army (Doc. 2). Even though the Mughals were a very rich and influential empire, the leadership of the dynasty became very naive and ignorant. The monarch would give land to their military men, and whoever lived the villages within it automatically became were under their control. The people living in these villages started questioning “why should I toil for a tyrant who may come tomorrow and lay his rapacious hands upon all I possess?” (Doc. 5). As a result, the government became faulty and untrustworthy to the citizens and this caused a decline in their…

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims.
