  • The Mughal Empire
    Chapter 5 8 THE MUGHAL EMPIRE ike the Ottomans, the Mughals carried the dilemma of post-Abbasid L politics outside the Arid Zone and resolved it. Unlike the Ottomans, the Mughals did not expand the frontiers of Muslim political power, ex- cept on some fringes. They established a new polity ruled by an estab- lished dynasty in territory that Muslims already ruled. The dynastic setting and the environment—physical, social, and cultural—requires careful explanation in order to make the Mughal success comprehensible. This section describes the multiple contexts in which the Mughal Empire developed and then summarizes the most important characteristics of the Mughal polity. Historians have traditionally identified Babur as the founder of the Mughal Empire and considered his invasion of northern India in 1526 as the beginning of Mughal history. Both the identification and date are mis- leading. Babur’s grandson, Akbar, established the patterns and institutions that defined the Mughal Empire; the prehistory of the empire dates back to Babur’s great-great-grandfather Timur’s invasion of north India in 1398. Because Timur remained in Hindustan (literally, “the land of Hin- dus”; the Persian word for northern India) only a short time and his troops sacked Delhi thoroughly, historians have traditionally treated his incur- sion as a raid rather than an attempt at conquest. Timur, however, did not attempt to establish direct Timurid rule in most of the areas he conquered; 201 202 5 – THE MUGHAL EMPIRE he generally left established dynasties in place or established surrogates of his own. His policy in Hindustan was the same; he apparently left one Khizr Khan as his governor in Delhi.

  • Hümayun'un Sürgün Hayatı Hami Demir*
    Sosyal ve Kültürel Araştırmalar Dergisi (The Journal of Social and Cultural Studies) Cilt/Volume: III, Sayı/Issue: 6, Yıl/Year: 2017, ss. 35-62 Hümayun’un Sürgün Hayatı Humayun's Exile Life Hami Demir* Öz Babürlü Devleti’nin kurucusu Babür’ün 1530 yılında ölümünün ardından en büyük oğlu olan Hümayun tahta geçti. Hümayun, tahta çıkışı ile birlikte çevresindeki güçlü dış rakipler ve Timurlu mirzaların yarattığı iç huzursuz- luklar ile uğraşmak zorunda kalmıştı. Hümayun’un bu süreç içerisinde de en güçlü rakipleri, Afgan Şir Han ve kardeşi Kamran Mirza olmuştu. 1540 yılında Şir Han ile yapılan savaşta Hümayun, mağlup olmuş ve tahtını kay- betmişti. Tac ve tahtını kaybeden Hümayun, Kuzey Hindistan’da tutunmaya çalışmış, ancak başarılı olamamıştı. Ortaya çıkan bu durum üzerine Hüma- yun, İran’a giderek, Şah Tahmasb’a sığınmıştı. İran’da ortaya çıkan ittifak ile birlikte Hümayun, Kandahar ve Kabil’i ele geçirerek kardeşlerinin yarattığı tehlikeyi bertaraf etmeyi ve Hindistan’daki tahtını geri kazanmayı amaçla- mıştı. Bu çalışmada Babürlü Devleti’nin ikinci hükümdarı olan Hümayun’un, Hindistan’daki tahtını kaybettikten sonra yaşadığı sürgün hayatı ve Babürlü Devleti’nin yeniden tesisi için verdiği mücadele incelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Makalemizde Babürlü saray tarihçileri tarafından kaleme alınan ana kaynak- lara başvurularak, Hümayun dönemi ile ilgili araştırma eserler incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.

    THE LORDS OF THE AUSPICIOUS CONJUNCTION: TURCO-MONGOL IMPERIAL IDENTITY ON THE SUBCONTINENT A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lisa Ann Balabanlilar, M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Stephen Dale, Advisor Professor Jane Hathaway ____________________________ Professor Geoffrey Parker Advisor Graduate Program in History Copyright by Lisa Ann Balabanlilar 2007 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 Mughal as an exclusively Indian phenomenon, politically and culturally isolated on the sub- continent. 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. Yet to insist on a thousand years of Muslim continuity in India is to ignore the varied religious, cultural, and political traditions which were transmitted to the subcontinent by a widely diverse succession of immigrant communities. This study radically re-evaluates the scholarly and intellectual isolation with which the Mughals have been traditionally 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 of South Asia meticulously maintained and asserted the universally admired charisma of their imperial lineage and inherited cultural ii personality.

PREFACE A text-book is not an easy thing to write, and because many text-book writers do not realise this, their books are soon forgotten. But the text-book which Prof. S. R. Sharma invites me to present to the students' world to-day, will not be easily forgotten. It is not conceived along the is ordinary lines of a School text ; but original, well thought out and eminently suitable for the B. A. History course. A good text-book for the School boys will not be a good text- book for College students. Prof. Sharma's is a College text-book. Besides the historical events, narrated in much greater detail than in School text-books, Prof. Sharma introduces a number of authors to the students. Some of those authors are eye-wit- nesses of the events themselves, contemporary writers, first class authorities that are called in historical language Sources of History.

  • The Mughal Empire Is a Long Overdue Scholarly Study of the Mughal Period in Early Modern India
    I.B.TAURIS SHORT HISTORIES I.B.Tauris Short Histories is an authoritative and elegantly written new series which puts a fresh perspective on the way history is taught and understood in the twenty-first century. Designed to have strong appeal to university students and their teachers, as well as to general readers and history enthusiasts, I.B.Tauris Short Histories comprises a novel attempt to bring informed interpretation, as well as factual reportage, to historical debate. Addressing key subjects and topics in the fields of history, the history of ideas, religion, classical studies, politics, philosophy and Middle East studies, the series seeks intentionally to move beyond the bland, neutral ‘introduction’ that so often serves as the primary undergraduate teaching tool. While always providing students and generalists with the core facts that they need to get to grips with the essentials of any particular subject, I.B.Tauris Short Histories goes further. It offers new insights into how a topic has been understood in the past, and what different social and cultural factors might have been at work. It brings original perspectives to bear on the manner of its current interpretation. It raises questions and – in its extensive bibliographies – points to further study, even as it suggests answers. Addressing a variety of subjects in a greater degree of depth than is often found in comparable series, yet at the same time in concise and compact handbook form, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to be ‘introductions with an edge’. In combining questioning and searching analysis with informed history writing, it brings history up-to-date for an increasingly complex and globalized digital age.
