Introduction The pattern?of Indian conquest had been set many millennia before the?Mughals came. Aryans, Greeks, Scythians, Huns, Arabs, Turks, and Afghans had trekked through the narrow deserts of India's?exposed northwest. (Welch, 9) The Indians would confront these early settlers in order to subjugate them. The victors, of this battle of influence, then held the land until it became their turn to be uprooted.? ? With their conquests, the moguls bought a new, and revolutionary and structural government. Before the introduction of the moguls, many Indian kingdoms were functioning undisturbed. However, there existed myriads of such kingdoms and due to insufficient planning and finance, these governments could not increase or annex more land than they could afford.
