Emperor of Hindustan

History
[edit]Delhi Sultanate
[edit]After the Delhi Sultanate gained independence from the Ghurid Empire, it called it's land Hindustan, representing its sovereignity over Northern India (Punjab and the Indo-Gangetic plains) and later the Indian subcontinent.[3]
Scholar Bratindra Nath Mukherjee states that during periods of Delhi Sultanate, Hindustan simultaneously represented Northern India aswell as the entire Indian subcontinent.[4]
Mughal Empire
[edit]The Delhi Sultanate was succeeded by the Mughal Empire, which called it's polity as Hindustan. By this period, Hindustan had come to mean the entirety of the Indian subcontinent rather than only Northern India.[5]vvvv
Variations
[edit]The title Emperor of India was also used for the Mughal Emperors in some translated sources, a term later used by the British Monarchs.
Other variations were also used:
Sultan of Al-Hind (Salṭan-i-al-Hindīyyah)
Sultanate of Hindustan (Salṭan-i-Hindūstan)
Trivial Similarities between Mauryan and Mughals
[edit]
The traditional extents of both the empires are very similar, even though both are separated by 1750 years.
Both empires declined shortly after their peak extent, (although Mauryans were able to sustain it a bit longer.)
Both have fought wars with a power based in Persia,
Mauryans fought Seleucids (even though a Greek power but were based or ruled over persia).
While Mughals fought Safavids over the disputed city of Kandahar.
