Please also post in the forum for the day a short essay in response to this question:

Review our identification of both material and immaterial resources (physical resources, geography, and trade, but also technology, language, learning, ideas, and traditions). Then study your text and see if you can figure out:

• What special resources and products was the Mughal empire able to provide that were not easily available elsewhere in the world?
• Why is the Mughal Empire called a gunpowder empire?
• What old and new systems did the Mughals rely on to govern their empire?
• What was the role of different religious cultures in the Mughal empire? Were these advantages
• What made the Mughal Empire so wealthy?

Finally, consider resources in terms of advantages for the historian studying the Mughals.
