File talk:Flag of the Mughal Empire.svg

Dear Wikipedia, The Crescent had always been the symbol of the Turkic peoples and was used on Mughal Flags ever since the reign of the first Mughal Emperor Babur. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.159.215.76 (talk) 22:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

The first Mughal Emperor Babur, was born in Fergana (Uzbekistan) Babur introduced the Timurid Crescent on his earliest Mughal Flag. The crescent used on the Mughal Flag closely resembles the crescent on the modern day Flag of Uzbekistan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.159.214.84 (talk) 08:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply


Can someone quote the source that this flag was depicted anywhere in the Mughal paintings? Mughals used a golden sun on a white background as their flag. The crescent moon was the flag of the Turks, not Mughals.

Dear Wikipedia, The Crescent was a widely used Symbol throughout the Mughal Empire, there is a very large Crescent on the tip of the Taj Mahal, the Mosques built by the Mughal Emperors and the Crescent was even used in some tombs of Mughal Nawabs. The Crescent was truly a common feature of Mughal art and was even used on their Flags...

I also agree, this flag is unsourced and does not reflect contemporary Mughal sources at all.The Mughals did use a golden sun as described above and from Shah Jahan's time onward, fish and crescent was also used as a official symbol of the Mughal Empire right until the end of the dynasty in 1858.--Azeem Ali (talk) 13:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
