That's not true. The Moghul dynasty who established the greatest empire
that India had ever seen until the time of the British Raj were
Mongols. Babur, the first Moghul emperor, conquered northern India to
raise resources for his real ambition, which was to strike north from
Afghanistan into Central Asia.
Rich, who's forgotten what little he once knew about this stuff.
