    The Mughal and Safavid had Islam, the base of military conquest and a centralized government as similarities. In the time of their reign, Islam was of great power in the world. The development and introduction of gun powder helped these empires expand and strive. Islam played a big role in the management of their political systems, for example, women’s rights would be affected by the strict rule of Muslim religion. Being based on military conquest was beneficial to Islam, expanding Islam and influencing a wide range of people; bringing many of the tribal religions under one rule, expanding the political strength of the Safavid and Mughal empires. Having a centralized government meant that one person made all the decisions; this could be beneficial or could destroy an empire. For example, the person who’s making all the decisions could be biased and choose something that they believe is right, not including the views of the people.…

    The Safavid, Mughal, and Ottoman empires all depended in some way on the allegiance of non-Muslims to the empire. The Ottoman emperors were kinder on their conquered people, and the main separation between Muslims and non-Muslims in the empire was the tax on the dhimmis (non-Muslims). The Safavid leaders were more forceful in this regard. They imposed on subjects to convert to Islam unless they were an asset in trading with Europe. However, the leaders of the Mughal Empire, starting with Akbar, were far more just and understanding toward conquered people (mainly the Hindu population) in northern India.…

    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 Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Empires were forces to be reckoned with back in the day. Being powerful entities, their rise was paved with military prowess, religious tolerance, and having meritocratic systems, though this is not always the case. Their fall, however, was the result of their treatment of peasants, a plague of horrid rulers, and shortsighted economic handling.…

    The Mughals and Ottomans were both very powerful and successful empires that left their mark on the world. Although both empires had very similar strategies in keeping peace and maintaining their power, there were many key differences that clearly highlighted the two apart. Both the Mughals and Ottomans were Islamic empires that imposed Islamic laws on their population. However, there was also a great non-Muslim population living in their boundaries. In order to keep the non-Muslim population satisfied and peaceful, they developed new strategies. These strategies proved to work successfully in keeping peace throughout the Empire. Despite having many similarities, there were also key differences the clearly separated the two apart. The Mughals were Sunni-Muslim and had a calm/peaceful approach to conquest and non-Muslims, while the Ottomans were Shiite-Muslims and were more harsh and strict towards their approach. Altogether, through these similarities and differences both Empires have truly rewritten history and left their…

    There is nothing much unusual about armed guards outside the houses in my quiet, neat neighbourhood of Islamabad. These are the homes of retired generals, well-connected politicians and international aid workers, all of whom might be targets for Pakistani extremists. But one house stands out. Instead of frail, elderly guards armed with shotguns, one house is ringed by uniformed police officers with AK-47s. Roadblocks control traffic, floodlights illuminate an area of scrub that has been cleared of trees and machine gun positions have been dug in all around.…
