The Mughals (also spelled Moghul or Mogul) is a Muslim corporate group from modern-day North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.[1] They claim to have descended from the various Central Asian Mongolic,[2][3] and Turkic peoples that had historically settled in the Mughal India and mixed with the native Indian population.[1] The term Mughal (or Moghul in Persian) literally means Mongol.[4]
