Explanation: The first half of the seventeenth century in India was, on the whole, an era of progress and growth. During the period, the Mughal empire was ruled by two capable rulers, Jahangir (1605-27), and Shah Jahan (1628.1658). In southern India, too, as we have seen, the states of Biiapur and Golconda were able to provide conditions of internal peace and cultural growth. The Mughal rulers consolidated the administrative system which had developed under Akbar. They maintained the alliance with the Rajputs, and tried to farther broaden the political base of the empire by allying with powerful sections such as the Afghans and the Marathas.
