Abstract
Abstract The Ghaznavid raids (eleventh century) and the more enduring Ghurid incursions into northern India (late twelfth century) initiated a succession of power-seekers entering the region to establish Islam-affiliated rule. After Timur’s sack of Delhi in 1398, the demise of the last of these power-seekers, the Tughluqs (1320–1400), led to their governors declaring independence and establishing an array of sultanates throughout the subcontinent. These polities’ overland and maritime commercial connections, and the presence of diverse local and transregional populations within them, led to a staggering variety of cultural production, presaging the multiplicity of regional identities comprising the Mughal imperium (1525–1857).
