Ashokharsana, the name "Mughal" is a mis-nomer, Babur and Timur were not Mongols they were Turks. The state is also known as BaburHan State in other languages.
The "Mughals" later mixed with Indians and therefore became a kind of native State/Empire aswell as it did adopt many Indian customs and promote Urdu and Hindi to create a lingua-franca. They were Turko-Indian in my opinion.
What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.
