On August 6, 1945, the American bomber Enola Gay dropped a five-ton bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A blast equivalent to the power of 15,000 tons of TNT reduced four square miles of the city to ruins and immediately killed 80,000 people. Tens of thousands more died in the following weeks from wounds and radiation poisoning. Three days later, another bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, killing nearly 40,000 more people. A few days later, Japan announced its surrender.

22. How did the Mongol invasions of Tamerlane and Babur affect Indian culture?

Helga [31]

The correct answer is "B".

Babur was the first emperor of the Mughal Dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent. He was the son of "Timur the Great", also known as Tamerlane.

Even though his mother was from Mongolia, he was not close to this group of people. When he invaded the Indian subcontinent, he was considered as a "Mughal" by the locals. The result of this sympathy towards the Indian people resulted in a blend of customs in that region.
