The map used by UPSC shows the Mughal territories extending from Kandahar in the north-west to parts of the Deccan but not including the far-southern conquests later added by Aurangzeb; this territorial outline corresponds to the empire under Shah Jahan. Ala-ud-din Khilji and Mohammad Tughlaq ruled much smaller north-Indian sultanates, while Aurangzeb’s empire stretched further south and east.
