  Mogul dynasty - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Mogul dynasty
The Mogul emperors ruled until the last one, Bahadur Shah II, was dethroned and exiled by the British; they included Akbar, Aurangzeb, and Shah Jahan.
The Moguls established a more extensive and centralized empire than their Delhi sultanate forebears, and the Mogul era was one of great artistic achievement as well as urban and commercial development.
When Akbar died 1605 the Mogul empire had a population of 70–100 million, but it was at its largest under Aurangzeb (ruled 1658–1707), who briefly subdued the Deccan and the south-central states of Bijapur and Golconda.

 Antique Textile History
During the Mogul era, the textile industry was almost forgotten in Iran, and the masters, for fear of their lives, lived in hiding.
During the period between the 11th and 13th lunar hijira centuries, weaving of brocaded silk declined; and during the Qajar era and the past regime, brocaded silk and velvet were used in formal dresses, upholstery of furniture and curtains of courts.
But before that date, that is during the Mogul period, the textile was forgotten in Iran for many years, and brocade makers lived in hiding for a long time out of fear of their lives.

Main article: Indian Mutiny On May 10, 1857, Indian soldiers of the British Indian Army, drawn mostly from Muslim units from Bengal, mutinied in Meerut, a cantonment eighty kilometers northeast of Delhi.
The rebels marched to Delhi to offer their services to the Mogul Empire emperor, and soon much of north and central India was plunged into a year-long insurrection against the British.
The uprising, which seriously threatened British rule in India, has been called many names by historians, including the Sepoy Rebellion, the Great Mutiny, and the Revolt of 1857; many people in South Asia, however, prefer to call it India's first war of independence.

Dunst plays her character on the fringe of anachronistic modernity, but she gives Davies the right kind of effervescence, likability, and sincerity that make the girl's waffling between love and lust palpable.
