- Summary:
- The Mughals of India explores the grandest and longest lasting empire in Indian history. This innovative book examines the Mughal presence in India from 1526 to the mid-eighteenth century through four new entry points: the sources of the Mughal statersquo; s legitimacy; the evolution and meaning of court etiquette; the world of the imperial Mughal family; and the interaction between folklore and court culture. Based upon a wide range of sources ndash; court chronicles, official documents, poetry, paintings, travellersrsquo; accounts, bazaar gossip and folktales ndash; the book takes account of both the tensions and harmonies within the court and the durability of the empirersquo; s structures, together with the transient moments of the Mughals' world and its lasting legacy in todayrsquo; s India.
