Humayun

Akbar: The Greatest Mughal Ruler? The focus of this book was to tell as complete a story as possible about the Mughal ruler Jalal ad-Din Akbar. It makes use of a variety of sources ranging from the writings of the Venetian physician Niccolao Manucci (1639-1717) to firsthand accounts from Jesuit missionaries and other advisors of his, like Abu-l-Fazl. While Akbar’s reign is fairly well documented, there is not much is known about his early years. What we do know is, Akbar was born on October 11 1542 in Umarkot. At the age of one, Akbar was separated from his parents for a couple of years and placed under the care and tutelage of his uncle Askari. While these appeared to be unhappy years for him, he was soon reunited with his parents when his father reclaimed Kabul in 1545. Akbar had only one half-brother to contend with. This was likely a blessing since his father Humayun’s rule had been bogged down by the opposition from his three brothers. Although Akbar was well-educated and trained in many practices and trades, he remained illiterate throughout his entire life. This didn’t prove to be too detrimental to his rule, as is seen in his son’s memoirs “although he was illiterate, so much became clear to him through constant intercourse with the learned and the wise, and in his conversations with them, that no one knew him to be illiterate, and he was so acquainted with the niceties of prose and verse composition that this deficiency was not thought of.” (14) Upon the death of…

privileges of the ruling class. One could fruitfully apply these insights for the study of feasting practices in Mughal India, as well. There are several references in the contemporary sources to the Mughal rulers and the nobles organising lavish feasts and banquets. Some of these descriptions appear to be exaggerated, such as, Abul Fazl’s description of Shah Tahmasp’s reception of Humayun or Akbar’s birthday celebration. During the time that Akbar was born, Humayun was on a run, and having…

One day Humayun, Jamuna’s second husband, asks his meal, but Jamuna stays unmoving. We could observe the following dialogue thus: Humayun asks, "Give me rice." I said, "I didn't cook." "What?" "I didn't cook means I didn't cook." "Why?" "I did not want to."(29) The above converse involving Jamuna and Humayun may have the manifestation of a domestic fight, but it inaugurates a discourse for women that the conventional episteme has not allowed so far. Neither does a woman respond to the…

Yes, that right she spoke up and she has literally blasted everyone with her strong words. Looks like the woman card just plays at the right time because Ghazala Khan who is the mother of the Humayun Khan said”Trump criticized my silence”. Humayun Khan was an American soldier who died while serving on duty in the Iraq war. Ghazala Khan added that DOnald Trump knew nothing about getting bereaved and criticised her silence but the ones who saw her felt her pain. Not just that the lady lost her…
