Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mughal Empire, one of the most significant and influential empires in Indian history, witnessed a remarkable rise and a subsequent, gradual decline. Spanning from the early 16th century to the mid-19th century, the Mughal Empire's story is a tale of grandeur, cultural flourishing, and eventual decline. Rise: The rise of the Mughal Empire began with the establishment of the dynasty by Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and Tamerlane. In 1526, Babur's victory over Ibrahim Lodhi at the First Battle of Panipat laid the foundation for Mughal rule in the Indian subcontinent. Under the leadership of Akbar the Great, the empire reached its zenith during the 16th and early 17th centuries. Akbar's policies of religious tolerance, administrative reforms, and cultural patronage fostered an era of prosperity. The Mughals built magnificent monuments, including the Taj Mahal, and their cultural contributions left an indelible mark on India's history. Fall: The decline of the Mughal Empire can be attributed to a combination of internal and external factors. Aurangzeb's reign marked a turning point, as his religious conservatism and prolonged military campaigns strained the empire's resources. The empire faced external threats from the Marathas, Sikhs, and European colonial powers, particularly the British East India Company. The loss of economic control to the British, along with the exploitation of India's wealth, weakened the Mughals. By the mid-18th century, the empire had become a mere shadow of its former glory. The British deposed the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, effectively ending the empire. The fall of the Mughal Empire paved the way for British colonial rule in India. In retrospect, the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire is a complex narrative that encapsulates the ebb and flow of power, cultural efflorescence, and the impact of external forces. Despite its decline, the legacy of the Mughal Empire endures in India's rich cultural heritage, architecture, and historical memory, serving as a poignant reminder of a bygone era of splendor and sovereignty.

This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of India has been marked with the rise and fall of many dynasties. The Mughal Empire was one of the greatest and longest reigning empires on Indian soil. The foundation of the Mughal Empire was established by Babar, a great warrior and conqueror who could not assimilate Indian values into the Mughal administration, which is why his successor Humayun could not keep the throne his father had won. It was Akbar who had the vision to change the old system of governance and introduce a more secular and tolerant rule. After reclaiming the Delhi throne at the young age of 14, Akbar established himself as a compassionate king, an astute administrator and a virtuous secularist. He fought many wars, both on the battlefield and off of it at times, as his new, open-minded ways were not well-accepted by all. Akbar's ambition was not to merely subjugate his Indian subjects, but to govern them in a way which was fair, conducive to development and prosperity. T H E R I S E O F T H E M U G H A L E M P I R E Akbar and the Rise of the Mughal Empire tells the story of Akbar, who started as a child prodigy and went on to become the greatest, most revered kings of the Mughal Empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What India’s founders derived from Western political traditions as they struggled to free their country from colonial rule is widely understood. Less well-known is how India’s own rich knowledge traditions of two and a half thousand years influenced these men as they set about constructing a nation in the wake of the Raj. In Righteous Republic, Ananya Vajpeyi furnishes this missing account, a ground-breaking assessment of modern Indian political thought. Taking five of the most important founding figures—Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Jawaharlal Nehru, and B. R. Ambedkar—Vajpeyi looks at how each of them turned to classical texts in order to fashion an original sense of Indian selfhood. The diverse sources in which these leaders and thinkers immersed themselves included Buddhist literature, the Bhagavad Gita, Sanskrit poetry, the edicts of Emperor Ashoka, and the artistic and architectural achievements of the Mughal Empire. India’s founders went to these sources not to recuperate old philosophical frameworks but to invent new ones. In Righteous Republic, a portrait emerges of a group of innovative, synthetic, and cosmopolitan thinkers who succeeded in braiding together two Indian knowledge traditions, the one political and concerned with social questions, the other religious and oriented toward transcendence. Within their vast intellectual, aesthetic, and moral inheritance, the founders searched for different aspects of the self that would allow India to come into its own as a modern nation-state. The new republic they envisaged would embody both India’s struggle for sovereignty and its quest for the self.

Download or read book Empress The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan written by Ruby Lal and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Finalist for the 2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History Four centuries ago, a Muslim woman ruled an empire. When it came to hunting, she was a master shot. As a dress designer, few could compare. An ingenious architect, she innovated the use of marble in her parents’ mausoleum on the banks of the Yamuna River that inspired her stepson’s Taj Mahal. And she was both celebrated and reviled for her political acumen and diplomatic skill, which rivaled those of her female counterparts in Europe and beyond. In 1611, thirty-four-year-old Nur Jahan, daughter of a Persian noble and widow of a subversive official, became the twentieth and most cherished wife of the Emperor Jahangir. While other wives were secluded behind walls, Nur ruled the vast Mughal Empire alongside her husband, and governed in his stead as his health failed and his attentions wandered from matters of state. An astute politician and devoted partner, Nur led troops into battle to free Jahangir when he was imprisoned by one of his own officers. She signed and issued imperial orders, and coins of the realm bore her name. Acclaimed historian Ruby Lal uncovers the rich life and world of Nur Jahan, rescuing this dazzling figure from patriarchal and Orientalist clichés of romance and intrigue, and giving new insight into the lives of women and girls in the Mughal Empire, even where scholars claim there are no sources. Nur’s confident assertion of authority and talent is revelatory. In Empress, she finally receives her due in a deeply researched and evocative biography that awakens us to a fascinating history.
