Explanation: Babur's successor, Nasiruddin Humayun (1530-40, 1555-56) expanded the frontiers of the empire but lost it to the Afghan leader Sher Shah Sur, who drove him into exile. Humayun took refuge in the court of the Safavid ruler of Iran. In 1555 Humayun defeated the Surs, but died a year later. Many consider Jalaluddin Akbar (1556-1605) the greatest of all the Mughal emperors, for he not only expanded but also consolidated his empire, making it the largest, strongest, and richest kingdom of his time. Akbar succeeded in extending the frontiers of the empire to the Hindukush mountains and checked the expansionist designs of the Uzbeks of Turan (Central Asia) and the Safavids of Iran. Akbar had three fairly able successors in Jahangir (1605-27), Shah Jahan (1628-58), and Aurangzeb (1658-1707), much as their characters varied. Under them, the territorial expansion continued, though at a much-reduced pace. The three rulers maintained and consolidated the various instruments of governance. |
