Imperial Identity in the Mughal Empire
Author: Lisa Balabanlilar
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857720813
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Having monopolized Central Asian politics and culture for over a century, the Timurid ruling elite was forced from its ancestral homeland in Transoxiana at the turn of the sixteenth century by an invading Uzbek tribal confederation. The Timurids travelled south: establishing themselves as the new rulers of a region roughly comprising modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, and founding what would become the Mughal Empire (1526-1857). The last survivors of the House of Timur, the Mughals drew invaluable political capital from their lineage, which was recognized for its charismatic genealogy and court culture - the features of which are examined here. By identifying Mughal loyalty to Turco-Mongol institutions and traditions, Lisa Balabanlilar here positions the Mughal dynasty at the centre of the early modern Islamic world as the direct successors of a powerful political and religious tradition.

Book Description
Mughal India and Central Asia explores the Central Asian element in the formation of the civilization of Mughal India, focusing on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The culture of the Mughal Empire is seen to be a composite of indigenous and foreign elements, many of which originated, like the Mughal rulers themselves, in Central Asia. The author argues that the Muslim societies of the pre-colonial period in Asia should be studied in terms of their own self-perceptions, and not simply as backward projections of modern day realities and notions.

India and Central Asia
Author: Scott Cameron Levi
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
"Most scholarly works and textbooks characterize the medieval Indo-Central Asian relationship as more or less unidirectional and violent defined by successive waves of aggressive Turko-Afghan Islamic invasions of a passive Hindu India. They also tend to overlook the peaceful exchange of people,ideas, and material goods. Departing from the traditional scholarship, this reader, the eighth in the Debates in Indian History and Society series, provides new insights into India-Central Asia relations between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries." "Did India's relationship with Central Asia grow during the period under consideration or falter? Were cultural or commercial connections more significant? India and Central Asia raises some important questions. In an incisive Introduction, Scott C. Levi examines the key contours of various debates and the changing historiographical perspectives. He also investigates areas where new issues have emerged, and others that need further investigation." "The book is divided into two parts. The first section on commercial relations deals with Mughal-Uzbeg relations, trade patterns, commodity structure, merchant networks and the Indian diaspora. It conclusively questions the notion that Indo-Asian trade suffered a general decline. Highlighting active socio-religious connections, the second part discusses the Central Asian heritage of the Mughal rulers, Fargana's contacts with India, and the Impact of Central Asian Sufism on Islam in India. It also explores Perso-Islamic cultural exchanges and cross..fertilization in the field of literature, painting, religion, and astronomy."--BOOK JACKET.
