    The Muslim rule in parts of northern India began in the 13th century with the founding of the Delhi Sultanate in 1206 CE by Central Asian Turks, though some earlier Muslim conquests occurred as early as the 8th century in modern Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Delhi Sultanate ruled northern India in the early 14th century but declined in the late 14th century as powerful Hindu states emerged. The 15th century saw the emergence of Sikhism. In the 16th century, the Mughals came from Central Asia and gradually covered most of India, though their empire suffered a decline in the early 18th century, allowing other states like the Maratha Empire and Sikh Empire to gain control over large areas.

    Muslim rule started in parts of north India in the 13th century when the Delhi Sultanate was founded

    in 1206 CE
    by nomadic Central Asian Turks;[22] though earlier Muslim conquests made limited inroads into modern
    Afghanistan and Pakistan as early as the 8th century.[23] The Delhi Sultanate ruled the major part of northern India
    in the early 14th century, but declined in the late 14th century when several powerful Hindu states such as
    the Vijayanagara Empire, Gajapati Kingdom, Ahom Kingdom, as well as Rajput dynasties and states, such
    as Mewar dynasty, emerged. The 15th century saw the emergence of Sikhism. In the 16th
    century, Mughals came from Central Asia and gradually covered most of India. The Mughal Empire suffered a
    gradual decline in the early 18th century, which provided opportunities for the Maratha Empire, Sikh
    Empire and Mysore Kingdom to exercise control over large areas of the subcontinent.[24][25]
