As a preliminary step in the direction of such an investigation, it aims at identifying the notions, popular, religious, as also those underlying rules framed by the sultans for regulating the economy in medieval In…
Historical Dictionary of Medieval India
The medieval period of Indian history is difficult to define clearly. It may be perceived as the long phase of India's transition from the ancient to the immediately pre-colonial times. The latter period would naturally be imagined commencing from Vasco da Gama's voyage round the Cape of Good Hope in 1498, or, alternatively, the establishment of the Mughal empire (1526). More definitely though, the renewed Islamic advance into north India, roughl…

Nature of Gunpowder Artillery in India during the Sixteenth Century – a Reappraisal of the Impact of European Gunnery
The opening line of Abu'l Faẓl's notice in Ā'īn-i Akbarī on “ top ” (gunpowder artillery) describes it as “a wonderful lock ( qufl-i shiqarf ) for securing the august edifice of royalty ( iqbāl sarā-i jahānbānī ) and a key ( kulīd-i dilkushā ) to the door of conquest ( darwāza-i kishwarsitānī )” He then proceeds to claim that except for the Mediterranean/Ottoman territories ( Rūmistān ), in no other place was gunpowder artillery available in such…

The building containing this inscription is located at a lonely spot inside the fort a short distance from the eastern edge of the ridge, along which the rampart of Vijayamandirgarh stretches in a north-south direction on…

I442-I526 BY IQTIDAR ALAM KHAN (Aligarh) The surviving evidence on the development of gunpowder tech- nology in India prior to A.D. 1326 comprises stray statements in the sources which can be subjected to divergent, sometimes even contradictory, interpretations. A major part of this evidence, contained in Tdrïkh-i Firisbta (completed in A.D. 1607) and a few other later sources like Tabaqjt-i Akbari (c…
The Political Biography of a Mughal Noble
The Middle Classes in the Mughal Empire
The Nobility under Akbar and the Development of his Religious Policy, 1560–80
The significant changes that were introduced in the organization of Mughal government and the accompanying shifts in Akbar's administrative and religious policies during the period 1560–80 have remained for long a favourite subject of study for a number of modern historians. The existing interpretation of these changes seems largely to run parallel to Abul Fazl's line of argument which seeks to explain the growth of institutions and policies in t…
