Answer: In the 1700s, the Mughals were Muslim rulers who allowed the East India Company to establish trading posts.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Mughals (name the Indians gave to the Mongols) were a people who established a great Muslim empire from the sixteenth century until the nineteenth century.
The Mughals dynasty reigned in the north of India, being its first emperor, Babur, who was a descendant of Genghis Khan (Babur was one of the direct descendants of Tamerlan, who was married to a Genghis Khan's granddaughter).
It should be noted that this empire, in its period of maximum power, ruled over part of the territories currently corresponding to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, reaching areas of Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan and eastern Iran.
