Personal Advice
The best way to remember the chronological order of the Mughal Empire and the other Famous dynasties like Slave Dynasty, Lodi dynasty, etc.. is to read the book "Vandhargal Vendrargal" by Famous Writer 'Sujatha'. 'சுஜாதா' அவர்கள் எழுதிய "வந்தார்கள் வென்றார்கள்"
In that he describes the invasion of Ghajini, Nadir Shah and even the story of Kohinoor Diamond. Dont read it for the years though. :-)
All the best...
