List of rulers of the Mughal Empire

        The Mughal emperors 




  (Urdu: मुगल शेन्सहा, Persian:

                               ( شهنشاهان هیندوسہ‎) 

were the supreme heads of state of the Mughal Empire on the Indian subcontinent, which mainly ruled over the territories of the modern countries of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Mughal rulers styled themselves Badshah (Great King) or Emperor. [2] The Mughals began to rule parts of India from 1526, and by 1707 they ruled almost all parts of the subcontinent. They declined rapidly thereafter, but ruled nominal territories until the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

. The Mughals were a branch of the Timurid dynasty of Turkic Mongol descent from Central Asia. Their founder, Babur, was a Timurid prince from Wadi Ferghana (modern-day Uzbekistan), a direct descendant of Amir Timur (commonly known as Tamerlane in Western nations) and Borjigin of Timur. He was also related to Genghis Khan through his marriage to a princess. Many Mughal emperors were allied through marriage and had Indian Rajput and Persian ancestry as the emperors were born to Rajput and Persian princesses. [3][4]For example, Akbar was half Persian (his mother was of Persian origin), Jahangir was half Rajput and one-quarter Persian, and Shah Jahan was three-quarter Rajput.

The Mughal Empire, during Aurangzeb Alamgir reign, was the world's largest economic power, accounting for more than 25% of global GDP. [6] The Mughal Empire ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent. The Mughal territory extended from Chittagong to Kabul in the east and Balochistan in the west and included areas from Kashmir in the north to the Kaveri river basin in the south.

The population of the Mughal Empire at that time was estimated to be between 110 and 150 million (a quarter of the world's population). [1] Mughal power declined rapidly during the 18th century and the last emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was deposed in 1857 with the establishment of the British Raj.

Galactic Genesis: James Webb Telescope Deciphers Early Universe’s Black Hole Enigma

  The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of two early-universe quasars, shedding light on the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies. This breakthrough suggests that the mass ratio observed in more recent galaxies was already present less than a billion years after the Big Bang. JWST’s recent observations of two quasars from the universe’s infancy reveal crucial insights into the early relationship between black holes and their galaxies, echoing mass ratios seen in the more recent universe. New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed, for the first time, starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes –quasars – seen less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The black holes  have masses close to a billion times that of the Sun, and the host galaxy masses are almost one hundred times larger, a ratio similar to what is found in the more recent universe. A powerful comb...

Hazrat Ali (RA) belonged to the tribe Quraish and the family of Bani Hashim in Makah. He was born In the Holy Kabah in Mecca on Friday, 13th Rajab 23 BH. He (RA) was the son of Hazrat Abu Talib (RA) the uncle of Holy Prophet (SAW), who had nourished and brought up Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). His mother Fatima bint-e Asad was also a noble lady belonging to the tribe of Bani Hashim whom the Prophet (SAW) respected as his own mother. When he was born his name was suggested by Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) that’s why his name became more significant. Hazrat Ali (R.A) had a great honor of being the first cousin of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) and was also brought up under His kind and inspiring supervision for most of the time of his life. First Youth to Accept Islam at the early age of 10 Hazrat Ali (RA) was the first among youth who accepted Islam just at the age of 10.

The Statue of Emperor Nero in the Isthmus of Corinth

  The statue of Nero at the Isthmus of Corinth. Video screenshot/YouTube , Updrones The forgotten statue of Nero  at the Isthmus of Corinth is a relic of the time the Roman emperor granted freedom to a part of ancient Greece. It is also a testament to the man who ordered that the Corinth Canal be built. This enormous project allows ships to circumnavigate the Peloponnese on their way to the Ionian Sea and vice versa. However, there are no historical records of who the actual creator was or when the monument of Nero on the rock was sculpted. The Isthmus of Corinth  has been known since ancient times as the dividing line between the Peloponnese and mainland Greece. A manmade waterway there would directly connect the Aegean Sea to the Ionian. In the 1st century AD, geographer Strabo pointed out a stele on the Isthmus of Corinth, bearing two inscriptions. One pointed East towards Megara of Attica. It said: “That is not Peloponnese, but Ionia.” The othe...
