If The Mughals Had Social Media, This Is How History Would’ve Unfolded Online

[anant_s]

Their royalty and fame were second to none. Huge palaces, historic wars, great rulers, beautiful queens and what not. They ruled over our land for almost 3 centuries. One of the greatest empires in history, the Mughals had it all. But one thing they did not have was the internet. How different would their reign have been if they had access to it?

Here is how history would have panned out online if the Mughals had social media:



Facebook would have been the obvious place to start and who better to start than the founder of the empire?

And of course, Babur wanted others, like Ibrahim Lodi, to comply.

But since they didn't, he conquered it by force.

The legacy was then handed over to his son, Humayun.

Humayun tried to follow his dad's lead.

But sort of messed up and went into exile.

But then he tried again

And succeeded.

Of course, there were some fun times as well.

Then once he died, his young son, Akbar, had to reclaim what he thought was his right.

But Hemu had to give it back. Later, celebrations were in order.

The great maestro even shared his music online.

Akbar's favourite advisor came into the picture.

Then his son, Jehangir, took over.

Victors would have had a selfie with the chopped head of their enemy as their DP. So something like today's ISIS.
Stop romanticizing them.

He was sort of publicly promiscuous.

He chilled with some British folk.

Once his glamorous life was over, his son Khurram a.k.a. Shah Jahan took the stead.

He built a wonder for his deceased lover.

Built some other monuments as well.

Tried battling with loneliness.

 

[anant_s]

Had a son, Aurangzeb, whom he loved dearly.

And regretted it.

Aurangzeb took command after betraying his father and travelled for further conquest.

And lost.

The empire's decline after the ambitious leader's death was imminent.

Leader after leader fell and a great empire finally crumbled. Bahadur Shah Zafar was the last in line to be dethroned by the British East India Company after the war in 1857.

[Indian Patriot]

Wonder what Indian history would have looked like under the Afghans.

 

[gslv]

Should also include in aurungzeb time line-
Killed my brother for believing in kuffr ideology,
Jailed tulsi das for a heathen ideology
Imposed jijiya on idolaters.

 

[Kolachi Punjabi]

Long live mughals, I have Mughal ancestry on my maternal line.

 

[dray]

Long live mughals, I have Mughal ancestry on my maternal line.

All Pakistanis seem to have it.

 

[Lord ZeN]

All Pakistanis seem to have it.

I have heard many PDF Pakistanis saying the same thing

 

[Kolachi Punjabi]

All Pakistanis seem to have it.

No most Pakistanis do not have it or claim to have, majority of native Pakistanis are proud of their lineage, proud of their biraderis who are native to Pakistan, but this is more common among elite muhajirs, my maternal side is muhajir and they claim mughal ancestry and are from a very influential background during mutual rule, but my father side which is Punjabi don't claim any foreign ancestry and are proud to be natives of Punjab, so don't speak about what you don't know Rajesh
