Talk:List of emperors of the Mughal Empire

message: This section is, as of 2009-Nov-22, not logically presented.  It departs from Humayun's battle loss and then picks up with him in the last paragraph.  Can someone knowledgable clean it up, or add some more details? Robpinion (talk) 15:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Humayun section illogical

message: here is an error in the titulary of Mughal rulers, they never were emperors, the article headline shows them as emperors
{emperor-name-}, but in the description of his name and titles appear as,sultan and/or Padishah,, besides that neither the Sultan nor Padishah mean emperor {imperator} ,someone competent could change those mistakes?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.129.104.42 (talk) 00:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Padishah does not directly translate to Emperor, but it does mean the same thing, so it is accurate to say that a Padishah is an Emperor in the modern English language. And they pretty accurately fit the definition of Emperor, not in the Roman Republic sense or proper Latin sense, but in the Roman Empire way they were very much Emperors. Sultan can have a similar meaning, but usually it will used as "Sultan of Sultans", similar thing with Khans, which is what a Khagan is "Khan of Khans", or as the Mughals used, Gurkhan. That use is literally what an Emperor is in the English language, a King over multiple Kings or Kingdoms. Imperator is more literally a Roman Republic Era position like a General or Voivode. King by the way literally refers not to an inherited monarchical position, but an ancient elected German (literally ancient, German tribes from around the time period of Julius Caesar) position. Germanic languages have this word, other Indo-European languages use words with an R that are related, such as Ri, Rex, Rei, Rey, Roi, Roy or Raj. 216.154.62.174 (talk) 01:57, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

message: In 1710, Travancore paid tribute to the Mughal governor of Arcot. There was a Qiladar at Valikondapuram in central Tamil Nadu, who was under Bijapur initially and under the Mughals later. Therefore, at least after 1710, the Mughal Empire should be shown as covering entire peninsula. The present map is incorrect. It also eaves the areas of Mysore outside, which is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gopalan evr (talk • contribs) 16:21, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "The English word mogul (e.g. media mogul, business mogul) was coined by this dynasty, meaning influential or powerful, or a tycoon."  Well, the English word may derive from the name of the dynasty, but it certainly wasn't coined by them.  Sentence should be revised to read "The English word mogul (e.g. media mogul, business mogul), meaning influential or powerful, or a tycoon, was inspired by the name of this dynasty,"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.21.54.229 (talk) 21:00, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

message: In the paragraph detailing about the rule of SHAHJAHAN, the last line contains an error. It says "squinting at the distant silhouette of his famous Taj Mahal on the banks of River Jamuna"  The river on the banks of Taj Mahal is YAMUNA. It is mistaken to be JAMUNA, a tributary of Brahmaputra in Bangladesh. I request the authorities to verify this error and correct it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vssc12 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tipu Saltan executed? 

message: Generally this article should have a small section giving the background of the Mughal empire, the rest of the sections would be Lineages, Titles, Powers etc going about the history of just the emperors. For example, see Roman emperors. While I appreciate such expansion of this neglected article, I think the efforts would be better spent on Mughal Empire rather than here. 
Also see Summary style. I think at present the section could be trimmed by 50 percent and transferred to its main article with a  link.  Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for late in getting back to you, Ugog Nizdast, I just got busy with some other things. At your main point, I would concur. Some of the material I added in could probably being moved to the Mughal emperor. This article seemed a tad POVish in the sense it seemed to imply that the success of the Marathas were due to weak leadership on the part of the Mughal emperors. No doubt, that is true to a certain extent, but it also that the Marathas played a different game than the one the Mughals were used to, which is why I went and changed that. If you want to reduce my summary somewhat, I would not object. Again, this article had a uncited sentence that said India was a wealthy country under Akbar while the book by Eraly says the opposite. Since I believe that Eraly's book is a RS and it is only one sentence, I feel that sentence can remain. The part that I added about the need for the Mughal emperors to have cavalry forces provided by the noble families of northern India and how many such families were unwilling to provide their cavalry after the conquest of the Deccan should remain. One thing I would like to do with this article is the article talk about the nature of the powers of the Mughal emperors, which at present it does not very much. Of course, that also be included in the article on the Mughal empire, but I think about in the coming months of adding in a lot of more on that subject. How did the Mughal emperors rule an empire of millions? What was the limitations on their powers? And did those powers change over time? Of course if feel this material might be better added to the Mughal empire article, I am certain we work out some sort of reasonable compromise. Thank you for inviting me to  discussion, Ugog Nizdast and please have a wonderful day!--A.S. Brown (talk) 01:17, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I've no access to the sources I can only help by copy-editing your edits and help you decide what's relevant here. The nature of their powers would be relevant here, if sources go into detail about it. Anything about the emperors would be a good addition here as there's currently nothing mentioned about them except that list. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 13:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the section about emperor's need for cavalry from 655 aristocratic families of India relates to the powers of the emperors. Likewise, the need for the emperors to maintain an "aura of success" to persuade the noble families to provide their cavalry for war is relates to the powers of the emperors. Once one accepts that part and in the 18th century that the land-owning families were increasingly unwilling to provide cavalry, then the part relating to the decline of the empire makes much sense. Go ahead and change the article in way that you feel is best. I have to go away on a long trip as one of my siblings home has been destroyed by fire, so I won't be around here for a while. When I get back, I provide you with my feedback if I feel that something has taken out of the article that should in. Cheers.--A.S. Brown (talk) 12:35, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

text: I generally agree with this, but I think the early, major emperors (to 1707) deserve a para of bio each. Johnbod (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

message: If you look at the date of Humayun's reign you will see it is interrupted by the overthrow of the dynasty and replacement by Sher Shah Suri. But his article speaks of him as a Mughal ruler - he controls the empire, makes reforms, so on and so forth, rather than destroying the Empire. Should he and his son, who rules for a while after him, therefore not be included in the list? LastDodo (talk) 08:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: He is regarded as the founder of the Sur Empire, which is traditionally viewed as a separate entity to the Mughal Empire. Sher Shah Suri is therefore seen as a Sur emperor rather than a Mughal.Alivardi (talk) 20:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
