Moguls ... are caucasian peoples

A debatable point. The Moguls were direct descendants of Genghis Khan, or at least claimed to be.

The female side of their ancestry may have often brought in those we would consider "Caucasian," and the East Asian (can't say Mongoloid or Oriental anymore) side may have been thoroughly diluted by the time they invaded India, but there is no doubt the family lineage they were proud of was "yellow," not "white."

BTW, isn't it odd that it is supposed to be offensive to refer to those of Mongol ancestry as "Mongoloid?"

You are right about the Moguls being heavily mixed. I was thnking about Mohammedan invaders from the West.
