Domesticity and Power in the Early Mughal World (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) Book

Ruby Lal explores domestic life and the place of women in the Mughal court of the sixteenth century.

Using Ottoman and Safavid histories as a counterpoint, she demonstrates the richness and ambiguity of the Mughal haram--pivotal in the transition to institutionalisation and imperial excellence.Read More
