India: The Tears of the Taj Mahal

This story begins with the collapse of the Timurid Empire and the upheaval across the Central Asian steppes. Spanning from the late 15th century to the early 18th century, it centers on the Mughal Empire and ranges across Delhi’s Red Fort, the Taj Mahal in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Lahore, Kashmir, Kabul, and Samarkand, reaching all the way to the warm sea breezes of the South Asian subcontinent.
