Pakistan is a paradigm example of a failed state that has undergone an extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation.
Akbar troops invade Khandesh
The annexation of Khandesh in 1601 by Akbar was an event of great military
and economic importance in the history of Mughal India. Khandesh provided a
territorial link between the north and the south. The Mughals realised this;
they made use of its resources to promote, preserve and protect the imperial
interests. The region, in fact, assumed far greater importance under the Mughals
than it had under the Faruqis. For a century and a quarter (1601-1724), Khandesh
as a Mughal province played a vital role in the history of medieval Deccan.
