1517 in India
In 1517, India experienced significant socio-political and cultural developments amid its rich tapestry of regional kingdoms. The Mughal Empire, under the nascent leadership of Babur, began to emerge as a formidable force, although it had not yet established full control over the Indian subcontinent. Meanwhile, the southern regions were dominated by the Deccan Sultanates, engaging in both conflict and diplomacy. The period also marked the spread of European influence, particularly from the Portuguese, who were expanding their maritime trade routes along the western coast and establishing early footholds in Kerala and Goa. This year further witnessed the continuance of the flourishing trade networks that connected India to Persia, the Middle East, and beyond, setting the stage for significant cultural exchanges.
