We have to take these kind of celebrations in comparative terms. For example the British troops are said to be most desciplined than others in Iraq a few years back. We could not expect the same from the army of Mongols and Mughals. The Indians princes since olden days were educated on the the subject that how to treat the defeated armies.
 
even during the Mughal era Shivaji's general captured some women for Shivaji and was expecting some good prizes from the king like in manner it was given in the areas ruled by Mughal empire but Shivaji in fact punished the General and returned those muslim women with respect and safty to the place of their manfolk. This is the reflection of Indian culture.
 
In a similar fashion Sher Shah Suri punished his own son who disrespected some brahmin woman during his rule but unfortunately he could not rule India for longer period and could renovate only Grand Trunk Road ( Even toady called Sher Shah Suri Marg in India) because he was Indian since afghanistan was part of Indian Empires earlier. Unfortunately the destiny of India was written to be ruled by the illiterate Mughals who never built anything on their own but renovated the existing buildings by removing all the wall stone of the existing buildings and installing the same in reverse manner to hide the truth.

When you call Kushuns Tokharians it must be noted that the Persian name for the region of Balkh and to the north was Tokharistan, so it does not mean that they were related to the people of the Tarim basin especially if they were Iranic proper speakers.

The Mughal Empire is absolutely an Indian Empire. To explain my stand we need to first define what "Indian" and India refers to.
The Vedic Culture, which we generally denote as the original Indian culture was not developed by the aboriginals of the subcontinent, but by Aryans who drifted from central Asia around 4000 BC.
Similarly the Mughals had arrived from India from central Asia/Afganisthan (not very clearly stated in history).
The basic difference between the British and the Mughals is that the Mughals stayed in India. They ruled India from India and not from London. The Mughals generated wealth and they used it solely on their territory in India and did not send any proceeds to Persia or Arabia.
British India is a colony rather than a continuous empire. Britain used most of the money/resources generated from India to meet the needs of Britain, like to fund the world wars. As a result Britain and India have two different cultures. They have influenced each other but never had there been a merger between the two like that of the Mughals.
In its essence, the difference between Mughal rule and that of British rule is basically the difference between an empire and a colony.

Too all posters here, I have seen a map, wherein the printing of the letter "N" (as in Indian) is sometimes reversed, as in a mirror image.

Were these letters sometimes done so just for fun? Or did the reversal actually serve some other purpose?

We'd need to know what language the map was in. Some alphabets do use a reversed 'N' as a regular letter (Russian, for example).

What happened was they didn't hinder or stop the indegenous culture. Elements of Turkic culture, language and so on naturally fused into the native one, also the rulers married local Princesses aswell, also Persian and Ottoman Princesses .

I think the main point it, they didn't try to change the local's, force them to assimilate or adopt a new language, didn't try to make them feel that their ways were wrong.

~Registered as a Turkish empire in India on the flag of the Republic of Turkey.the British are talking idly, struggling to erase the Turkish name from that region. So a Turk-India Empire. You can say.This is a definite knowledge, you can not call a Turk a mongol.
