In this unit pupils use and evaluate sources to learn about India at the time of the Mughal emperors and how the British took control of India. It reinforces the idea that civilisation was not confined to Britain and Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but also existed in non-European societies. India was a hugely wealthy society under the Mughals. Europeans were attracted to the country because of its wealth but were not powerful enough to rule until Mughal power declined in the eighteenth century.
This unit is expected to take 8-11 hours. There is scope to adjust some of the teaching activities to take account of time constraints in different schools.
