1590 in India

The year 1590 marked a significant period in Indian history, characterized by the consolidation of Mughal power and the ongoing expansion of regional kingdoms. Under the rule of Emperor Akbar, the Mughal Empire continued to flourish, promoting religious tolerance and cultural integration through policies such as the Din-i Ilahi. The empire's central administration facilitated trade and commerce, enhancing economic prosperity.
