I wonder if it's a coincidence that the Mughal invasion in the early 16c happened after the Indian population halved over the preceding two centuries. Perhaps the reduced population made India an easier target for their expansion.

The chart doesn't say that India's population halved in that time, rather it didn't grow was fast oas the rest of the world. OK, technically, the ROW population may have remained static, and India's halved, but that seems unlikely.
