Description
The major thrust of early historians was to give an account of ruling dynasties and their administration. In the wake of Marxism, the materialist historians interpreted history in the light of socio-economic conditions of the people.
The present work throws light on the following interesting but somewhat obscure topics of medieval Indian History: Akbar and the Jain Munis; Inflations during the great Mughals: Mughal emperors and their aesthetic sense; the Hindu wives of Jahangir: Sadulla Khan: career and achievements; Mughal emperors and Hindu festivals; Earthquakes in Medieval India; Cannibalism in Mughal India; Royal ladies in politics during Delhi Sultanate; Pregnancy precautions in Medieval India; Delivary and post-delivary precautions in Medieval India; Impact of natural calamities on trade and commerce during the Great Mughals; Preservation and utilization of massive data preserved in Persian manuscripts; Life and times of Bahadur Khan Rohilla; Sodomy in Medieval India; Mughal emperors and Kumauni rulers; Translation of Sanskrit works into Persian in Mughal period; Mathematical developments and findings in Medieval India; Mughal ambassadors.
This maiden venture will add new dimensions to historical researches.
