The Mughal Empire had many different components to their culture. As far as food goes, it varied between the classes. In the higher, royal class, cherries, grilled meats, elaborate rice dishes, and mangos were eaten. In the lower classes, the people farmed their own crops such as rice, wheat, and millet.
Throughout the empire, Persian, Chagtai Turkic, and Hindi were the languages spoken. Also, Urdulang was spoken; it was a combination of the Arabic, Persian, and Hindi languages.
The main religion in the Mughal Empire was Muslim; however, Buddhism and Hinduism were also practiced throughout the region. There was a House of Worship built for the people.
In the Mughal Empire, they traded many items. Some of these were oil seeds, millet, hemp (used in textiles), and alcohol. They imported raw silks, gold, ivory, precious stones, and perfumes. Lastly, the products that were exported from the Mughal Empire were spices, opium, textiles, and indigo.
As far as social services go in the Mughal Empire, hardly any were provided. There were small areas that had irrigation systems, but most citizens had to live without water provided for them. There was very little effort put into disaster relief throughout the empire. Even though one might not consider it a public work, the empire did build the Taj Mahal in honor of an emperor’s deceased wife.
