The Mughals, who were ethnic Turco-Mongol and descendants of Timur, or Tamerlane, came originally from Central Asia. They established the Mughal empire in India which lasted from 1526 to 1857, introducing many aspects of Persian culture into India, for example literature, painting, and architecture. Under the Great Mughal Emperors, the Mughals experienced expansion and prosperity. When the Mughals extended their reign to Jammu and Kashmir, some prominent Mughal families migrated to Jammu and Kashmir from Delhi and permanently settled in various parts of the region. The Mirza Beg clan of Udhyanpur was one such family that settled in the Udhyanpur region of the Chenab Valley, which was a famous and beautiful pass en route to Kishtwar, owing to its strategic location and picturesque beauty. The Timurid Legacy: A brief history of the Timurid Turco-Mongol Clan of Udhyanpur is written in an accessible style that should appeal to historians, academics, and non-academicians alike. Untold stories, historical facts, and detailed family trees and lineages of many families living in the region should help the reader navigate through the glorious past of this influential Turco-Mongol Clan of Udhyanpur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the demise of Soviet power, the newly independent republics are redefining their identities and their relations with the world at large. In Central Asia, which lies at the crossroads of several cultures, the emerging trends are complex and ambiguous. In this volume leading experts explore factors that have driven the region's historical development and that continue to define it today: Overlapping Islamic, Russian, and steppe cultures and their impact on attempts to delimit national borders and to create independent states; the legacy of Soviet and earlier imperial rule in economic and social relations', and the competition between Uzbek, Tajik, and other group identities. The authors make few predictions, but their original and thought-provoking analyses offer readers new insight into those aspects of Central Asia's past that may shape its future.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Contemporary studies of the Mughal dynasty in India have long been dominated by nationalist, sectarian and ideological agendas which typically present the empire of the Mughals as an exclusively Indian phenomenon, politically and culturally isolated on the subcontinent. Cross disciplinary scholarship on the Middle East and Islamic Central Asia assigns to the Mughals a position on the periphery. Omitting reference to a Central Asian legacy, scholars instead link the Mughals to the preceding nearly one thousand years of Muslim colonization in India. This study radically re-evaluates the scholarly and intellectual isolation with which the Mughals have traditionally been treated and argues that the Mughals must be recognized as the primary inheritors of the Central Asian Turco-Persian legacy of their ancestor Timur (known in the West as Tamerlane). Driven from their homeland in Central Asia, the Timurid refugee community, newly settled in South Asia, meticulously maintained and asserted the universally recognized charisma of their imperial lineage and inherited cultural personality. The imperial success of the Mughals lay in their ability to identify and reproduce in the Indian context potent symbols of Islamic and Timurid legitimacy which allowed them to affirm their imperial role and develop a meaningful dynastic identity on the subcontinent. Specific institutions and traditions of the Turco-Mongol Timurids: succession patterns, interpretations of Islamic law, the facilitation of migrating Sufi orders, the role of women and Persianate literary culture, can be identified and traced from the centers of Timurid culture in Transoxiana to India, where they were manipulated and adopted by Timur's descendants. The shaping and defining of the imperial identity of the Mughals in India, through the conscious manipulation of the Central Asian legacy of Timur can be seen as a case study of the movement and migration of symbols of legitimacy and the reproduction of identity by a refugee community in permanent exile.
