Moghul Empire

What appear to be footprints in the rock here,are in fact a saced site to those of Hindu faith.The Charan Paduka are areas where it is said that Hindu Gods are said to have walked on Earth,and where their footprints are visible.Hinduism in the Niddle East has never been as popular as Islam or Christianity but this wasn't alway's the case.In 1526,a new power arose in the Indian sudcontinent that almost rivaled the Ottoman Empire in terms of size and influence.The Moghul Dynasty(also called Mughul,or Mogul)did not actually begin in the middle-east,but affected it all the same.Although slow to start under the reign of its founder Badur,and even under his successor Humayun,under the brief control of the Suri Dynasty,the empire began to flourish.When Humayun came back to power,the empire was restored to its original family-line,and ready to begin its rise to power.In its prime,the Moghul Empire claimed land from southern India to middle-Afghanistan;specifically,to Kabul,which was the empire's hub.The expansion of the Moghul empire not only introdced greater communicatio(hostile though it may have been)over the Indo-Afghan border,and introduced Hinduism as a prominent belief system in the Middle-East.Hinduism did not stay prominent for long,though,as it was quickly replaced by Islam once more when the Moghul Dynasty officially ended in 1862
