Mughal heads were of direct drop from Timur (for the most part referred to in the West as Tamerlane the Great), and furthermore subsidiary with Genghis Khan, in light of Timur's marriage with a Genghizid princess. The Mughals additionally had huge Indian Rajput and Persian family line through marriage cooperations, as heads were destined to Rajput and Persian princesses. Only the initial two Mughal sovereigns, Babur and Humayun, were completely Central Asian (Turki or what is currently known as Uzbek), while Akbar was half-Persian (his mom was of Persian starting point), Jahangir was half-Rajput and quarter-Persian, and Shah Jahan was seventy five percent Rajput.

  • Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India
    Folklore 112 (2001):23± 45 RESEARCH ARTICLE Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªRobes of Honourº in India Michelle Maskiell and Adrienne Mayor Abstract This article presents seven historical legends of death by Poison Dress that arose in early modern India. The tales revolve around fears of symbolic harm and real contamination aroused by the ancient Iranian-in¯ uenced customs of presenting robes of honour (khilats) to friends and enemies. From 1600 to the early twentieth century, Rajputs, Mughals, British, and other groups in India participated in the development of tales of deadly clothing. Many of the motifs and themes are analogous to Poison Dress legends found in the Bible, Greek myth and Arthurian legend, and to modern versions, but all seven tales display distinc- tively Indian characteristics. The historical settings reveal the cultural assump- tions of the various groups who performed poison khilat legends in India and display the ambiguities embedded in the khilat system for all who performed these tales. Introduction We have gathered seven ª Poison Dressº legends set in early modern India, which feature a poison khilat (Arabic, ª robe of honourº ). These ª Killer Khilatº tales share plots, themes and motifs with the ª Poison Dressº family of folklore, in which victims are killed by contaminated clothing. Because historical legends often crystallise around actual people and events, and re¯ ect contemporary anxieties and the moral dilemmas of the tellers and their audiences, these stories have much to tell historians as well as folklorists. The poison khilat tales are intriguing examples of how recurrent narrative patterns emerge under cultural pressure to reveal fault lines within a given society’s accepted values and social practices.

London : GEORGE ROUTLEDGE & SONS, LIMITED Preface "Wherever I go, whatever days I may number, nor time nor place can ever weaken, much less obliterate, the memory of the valley of Udaipiir." Such are the words with which Colonel James Tod closed his great work, the Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan. Few men have ever known an eastern race as Tod knew the Rajputs. He not only knew them through and through, their manners, their their ideals traditions, their character, and ; but so great was his admiration for their many noble qualities, and so completely did he identify himself with their interests, that by the time he left India he had almost become a Rajput himself. The history of Rajputana was, therefore, a subject very to Tod's heart both dear ; and, possessing imagina- tion and descriptive power, he was able to infuse into his pages much of the charm of a romance, and, what is still more rarely to be found in historical works, a powerful human interest. His sympathy for the is in line he wrote Rajputs apparent every ; but if his enthusiasm leads him at times to over- estimate their virtues, he never seeks to palliate their faults, to which, in the main, he attributes the ruin which overtook their race.

  • Later Mughal Emperors (1707-1857 A.D.)
    Page 1 of 6 Later Mughal Emperors (1707-1857 A.D.) The Mughal Empire was vast and extensive in the beginning of the eighteenth century. But by the close of the century it had shrunk to a few kilometres around Delhi. After the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, a war of succession began amongst his three surviving sons, Muazzam – the governor of Kabul, Azam-the governor of Gujarat, and Kam Baksh-the governor of Deccan. Azam turned to Ahmednagar and proclaimed himself emperor. Kam Baksh too declared himself the sovereign ruler and conquered important places as Gulbarga and Hyderabad. Muazzam defeated both Azam at Jajau in 1707 and Kam Baksh near Hyderabad in 1708. Muazzam emerged victorious and ascended the Mughal throne with the title of Bahadur Shah I. He was also known as Shah Alam I. Muazzam 'Bahadur Shah I' (1707-1712 A.D.) Jahandar Shah (1712 – 1713 A.D.)

Though I will be focusing on the discourse conducted at the royal court of A· mer/Jaipur in Rajsthan," I hope to show how this discourse was to assume wider than purely regional dimensions. Several of the issues that were raised in the period under review are related to themes treated for a more ancient period magisterially by Professor Gonda, particularly concepts of kingship, the Veda, and bhakti, the devotional strand within Hindu religion. As a student of the early modern and modern period of India, I feel indebted to Professor Gonda, and by examining related issues for the late pre-colonial period, I wish to acquit the debt that I owe to him as much as the debt that I owe the J.

  • Punchayti Raj and Swachh Bharat Mission
    AIJRA Vol. I Issue I www.ijcms2015.co ISSN 2455-5967 Mughal Rajput Relations (1526-1705): A Study *Dr. Harish Chandra Abstract The purpose of this paper is to illustrate Mughals and Rajput Policies. During his rule, Mughal Emperor Akbar introduced several policies, which also included 'The Rajput Policy.' Abul Fazl notes that he entered into a romantic partnership with them in order "to soothe the minds of the zamidars." Over time, Akbar extended and improved this strategy. In his pursuit of policies against the Hindus, the Rajputs were the main challenge. Aurangzeb sought to destroy the Rajputs' control and annex their kingdoms. In the history of the Mughal period, the shared ties of the Mughals and the Rajputs have been of great significance. Keywords: Rajput Policy, Mughal Emperor, Empire, Matrimonial Alliance Pilgrimage Tax, Jizya Tax, Mansabdars and Battle Introduction The Rajputs are inhabitants of India's northern areas. They are a warrior clan, but they formed an alliance with the Mughals for some reason, serving them with obedience and devotion. In reality, the Rajputs were the military arm of the Hindus. Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babar (1483-1530A.D.) was also the 16th-century king of the Indian subcontinent and founder of the Mughal Empire, Babar (literally means Babar is the Lion'). In the first battle of Panipat in 1526, he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan of Delhi, and Babar won the battle. The first battle of Panipat marked the demise of the sultanate of Delhi and the emergence of India's Mughal dynasty. A military genius and a skillful warrior are identified as the Mughal Emperor Babar.
