Synopsis With the advent of the Mughals begins a clearly defined period of Indian history. It will be well at this stage to consider briefly the political condition of India at the time of the advent of the Mughals. As had happened more than once in past history, the internal dissensions of the country made it an easy prey to a determined invader. The old Sultanate of Delhi was reduced to a state of helpless impotence under a series of weak and feeble rulers, and its authority extended to a mere remnant of territory in the vicinity of the capital. Such then was the condition of India at the hour of the advent of the Mughals. While 1526, the year of Babur's final invasion, is generally accepted as the beginning of the Mughal Empire. Topics like-the Coming of the Mughals-Babur, Humayun; New Synthesis; India at the Opening of the Sixteenth Century; Foundation of the Mughal Empire, Humayun and the Sur Afghans etc., provide rich and authentic information on the theme. Students and teachers of history and politics besides those appearing for various competitive examinations will find this of utmost use.
