Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute Akbar Versus The Spirited Nur Jahan is a gripping account of the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The narrative brings the Mughal court to life even as it describes Akbar's relationship with his son Jehangir and the other members of his extended family. The story of Nur Jahan has its' roots in Akbar's reign and times. That's why our story begins with Akbar's reign, tracing the intrigues at the court: stories being played out in the lives of his subjects ( both Hindu and Muslim ) and conspiracies within and outside the realm of the Mughal empire. Woven into this narrative is the possibility of reincarnation due to the karmic interaction between various communities in recurring births. The story is told through the perspective of a protagonist from the twenty first century. The book pulsates with the rhythms of life as lived in the times of Akbar's rule. With its interplay of faiths and cultures, it transports the reader into Akbar's court with its rich imagery. How did the young Mehrunissa, a courtier's daughter, come to be the queen of the mighty Mughal empire wielding immense influence ? She was a rarity for any woman in those times, leave alone a muslim woman. Did the elements of destiny and desire play an important role or was it a matter of court and harem intrigues ? The book takes a fresh look at how Mehrunissa became Nur Jahan at a time when the Mughals were at the zenith of their power in India.
Download or read book AKBAR written by Sarita Mandana and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of a prince in medieval India was usually followed by grand celebrations. Camped out in the wilderness when the news of Akbar’s safe delivery reached him; Humayun could only enjoy a quiet moment of thanksgiving. He broke a musk pod and as the fragrance wafted all over the camp; the new father hoped his son’s fame would similarly spread across the world. Akbar-emperor; warrior; statesman and thinker-is acknowledged as one of the most charismatic personalities in Indian history. Crowned the king of Hindustan at the age of thirteen; his empire went on to include the farthest corners of the country. Yet he was not just a conqueror. A humanist; his deep interest in literature; architecture; art and his inclusive vision of religions at a time when such thoughts were not in fashion; set him down as one of history’s most remarkable men. In this story of his life; as exciting and thrilling as any adventure tale; the author describes Akbar’s rough; difficult childhood spent on the run; his consolidation of the empire through war and diplomacy; the myriad interesting and entertaining people who made up his court; the strong women of the Mughal household; and finally; the intriguing circumstances under which the crown passed on to his son; Jahangir. Accompanied by many vignettes of information about the Mughal empire and the world in the 16th century; this book is a fascinating introduction to the life and times of a ruler who still rules our imaginations.

Download or read book Rereading the Black Legend written by Margaret R. Greer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase “The Black Legend” was coined in 1912 by a Spanish journalist in protest of the characterization of Spain by other Europeans as a backward country defined by ignorance, superstition, and religious fanaticism, whose history could never recover from the black mark of its violent conquest of the Americas. Challenging this stereotype, Rereading the Black Legend contextualizes Spain’s uniquely tarnished reputation by exposing the colonial efforts of other nations whose interests were served by propagating the “Black Legend.” A distinguished group of contributors here examine early modern imperialisms including the Ottomans in Eastern Europe, the Portuguese in East India, and the cases of Mughal India and China, to historicize the charge of unique Spanish brutality in encounters with indigenous peoples during the Age of Exploration. The geographic reach and linguistic breadth of this ambitious collection will make it a valuable resource for any discussion of race, national identity, and religious belief in the European Renaissance.

Download or read book Nur Jahan written by Ellison Banks Findly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-03-25 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nur Jahan was one of the most powerful and influential women in Indian history. Born on a caravan traveling from Teheran to India, she became the last (eighteenth) wife of the Mughal emperor Jahangir and effectively took control of the government as he bowed to the effects of alcohol and opium. Her reign (1611-1627) marked the highpoint of the Mughal empire, in the course of which she made great contributions to the arts, religion, and the nascent trade with Europe. An intriguing, elegantly written account of Nur Jahan's life and times, this book not only revises the legends that portray her as a power-hungry and malicious woman, but also investigates the paths to power available to women in Islam and Hinduism providing a fascinating picture of life inside the mahal (harem).
