When talking about Aurangzeb , I just wanted to point out that many analysts have talked about the wars between him and the Muslim Shia sultanates of the extreme-south that imbalanced the empire. There is a lot of propaganda against the mughals from butt-hurt people , Sir, and you can be sure that I ain't buying it lol.
And you're very right that they were very open-minded when it comes to cultural administration. The views regarding Aurangzeb annexing the south are not MINE but of the analysts that I've read.

We have a manchu brother on

How strong is machu identity in China? I'm guessing that there's a lot of intermarriage between manchus and other ethnicites. Are some manchus semi-nomadic in China?

Brother, if you're interested in the history of sub-continent, then you have to read about Porus, a punjabi raja who fought against Alexander and his army of Greeks/macedonians. There's a town in Punjab, Pakistan called phalian . Alexander's horse is putated to have died there .Historic scene from those battles is on youtube.

It's said that the language 'chagatay turkic' is extinct but I would assume that it was relatively similar to current-day uzbek or Turkmen. Interesting that you can read Baburnama and understand some of it
