Mughals = Mongols.
Aw geez... Not at ALL... this is a western over simplification. Babur was not a Mongol. His mother claimed descent from Chengez Khan, but his father was Timurid.

you forgot akbarFirst of all India was NOT under Muslim rule for 1000 years..I guess you are not including South-India,Marathas,Sikhs and Rajputs in your INDIA..
Regarding Muhammad Bin Qasim,Mahmood Ghaznavi and Muhammad Ghouri..
They were looters who had a great fighting force at their disposal who plundered the Hindukush region and this was a normal thing those days..
If i have to choose the most powerful King in the Indian subcontinent , I would choose Chandragupta Mourya , Ashok , Porus (i know many people here believe that Alexandar defeated Porus but what i have come to know after extensive research ,thats not the truth.) , Shershah Suri , Hyder Ali,Tipu Sultan and Maharaja Ranjeet singh..
Timur, Ghazni, Muhhamed-Bin-Qasim, etc looted and brought the loot back to their land. Mughals, India was their land.
Timur also claims ancestory from Genghis Khan. Mughal is Perisan for Mongol..
The Turks were/are just awesome... I was recently in Turkey and visited the military museum there. Here is a picture I took, depicting the spread of the Turks from Anatolia to the far reaches of the known world.

but the Timurid line is distinct and separate from the Mongols.
One of Timur's ancestors who was known by the name "kara-sharnoban" embraced Islam and married the daughter of Chagatai Khan (son of Genghis Khan)

Timur was a descendant of Genghiz Khan
