Hello there!
The foremost purpose of building this site was to have a space on the net where I could vent my knowledge on the Mughals, a subject that has fascinated me and which drove me to dig deep into their story using old books and archives. In time, this will take shape in the form of content that I (and you, I hope!) find interesting and which have something to do with the Mughals.
As a student of history, it is my firm desire to present here well-researched articles on the Mughals. My poverty currently prevents me from purchasing a full-fledged website for this purpose 😅, so this wonderful site stands as the best alternative.
The pattern of this site would be, generally, as follows:
- Pages: These will represent a more encyclopaedic entry or a collection of posts, specific to a certain topic. Will continually update.
- Posts: These will represent original or derived research on the subject(s) in question. They will generally be unaltered. Will be referenced as appropriately as possible.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the people that most influenced me in this field (and to whom I shall be forever thankful):
- My parents and siblings; who deeply supported me in undertaking this task
- My history teacher, Miss Nagina; who introduced me to history as a whole
- Sir Jadunath Sarkar, probably my favourite historian on the Mughals
- William Dalrymple, whose The Last Mughal inspired me to write history myself as well
- R. L. Stine, the first author I read, and who inspired me to become a writer in the first place
- And a galaxy of other people and writers who gradually pushed me into this path
