Description
The Mughal Empire: A Turco-Mongol Islamic Dynasty in India By Anne Davison This book tells the story of the Mughal Empire, which lasted from 1526 to 1857. It was a time when the Indian sub-continent was ruled by a Turco-Mongol Islamic dynasty that introduced many aspects of Persian culture into India, including literature, painting, and architecture. The early Mughals enjoyed expansion and prosperity under their first six Emperors, but the reign of Akbar the Great stood out for its religious tolerance. Shah Jahan is remembered for his magnificent buildings, while Aurangzeb's conservative policies alienated the majority Hindu population and contributed to the Empire's decline. The book draws on contemporary sources, including biographies and accounts from European travellers, to provide a detailed understanding of these Emperors. Maps, family trees, a Who's Who, and a Timeline are included to help navigate this fascinating story, which ultimately led to the dissolution of the Mughal Empire by the British following the Indian Uprising.
