The election of Ögödei as great khan over the head of his elder brother Chagatai (Jöchi had already died) did not do violence to nomadic tradition; it was quite acceptable in wartime for the dying ruler to nominate as his successor the son who was considered ablest and most acceptable to his brothers.
As great khan, Ögödei authorized the continuation of Mongol campaigns in Russia and the west and also in China, where the disintegration of the Juchen-Chin dynasty in 1234 had brought the Mongols face to face with the surviving Sung dynasty in the Yangtze valley.
Genghis Khan's concept of conquest and rule had been clear: the "people of the felt-walled tents" should remain in the steppes and continue their ancient warrior way of life, drawing tribute from the world of farms, cities, and caravan trade.

Grand Khan Mandaghol, Chinggis Khaan's twenty-seventh successor, died in 1467 as the result of a war against his great-nephew and heir Bolkho jinong [regent], and the latter in his turn was assassinated before he could be proclaimed khan (1470).
At the same time, several other khans were to convert, and Buddhism was from then on to play a central role in steppe politics, bringing to bear its ecclesiastical organization and resources.
Shortly after Altan Khan's conversion, in 1639, the young son of the Tüsheet Khan (like Altan Khan, a descendant of Batmönh, and thus a Chinggisid), Zanabazar (1635-1723), was proclaimed as a Buddhist incarnation.

It is thought to be an off shoot of the Delhi gharana because its founders, brothers Kallo Khan and Miroo Khan, had spent a considerable amount of time in Delhi learning from some of the great Ustads of the time, before returning to their native Ajrara.
The most famous exponent of this style was Habibuddin Khan, who, along with his contemporary Ahmedjan Thirakawa, set new heights in the field of tabla playing during the middle part of the twentieth century.
Akram Khan's tabla solo is set to a sixteen beat rhythmic cycle called Teentaal, known in North Indian music as 'the mother of all taals'.

This should especially have been true with a work that describes the pivotal figure of Altan Khan, who signed the 1571 peace accord with the Ming dynasty and, most importantly, "reconverted" the Mongols to Buddhism.
The reason is that this text meshes with the focus of most late twentieth century scholarship which questions dominant historical narratives, be it feminism, subaltern studies, post-colonialism, etc. All of these approaches entail lifting the blinders of ideological master narratives to reveal the past of those historiographically marginalized.

 Research team to resume its search for burial site of Mongol ruler Genghis Khan
Woods, American academic director of the joint American-Mongolian Genghis Khan Geo-Historical Expedition and a specialist in the history of Turkey, Iran and Central Asia from the 13th to 18th centuries, said this is the first year the Mongolian government has authorized members of the expedition to excavate.

 Tabla
The term tabla is derived from an Arabic word which means "drum", and this attests to its status as a product resulting from the fusion of musical elements from indigenous Hindu and Central Asian Muslim cultures that began in the late 16th century.
The tuning range is limited although different dayan-s are produced in different sizes, each with a different range.
For a given dayan, to achieve harmony with the soloist, it will usually be necessary to tune to either the tonic, dominant or subdominant of the soloist's key.
