SHORT HISTORY OF AURANGZEB, A (REV EDN)

Description

Jadunath Sarkar’s book discusses the history of Aurangzib, the Mughal Emperor. He draws on over 25 years of experience to help readers understand the man for who he was and what he did. Based on sources in Persian, the book explains how the power hungry Emperor did not let anyone get in his way. It talks of Shivaji and the Marathas, explaining how they clashed with the Mughal army. It begins with his childhood life, and then progresses to Shah Jahan?s illness. Aurangzib rebelled against his father, and seized power. It moves on to his conquests, his failures and the slow yet inevitable fall of India into British hands, largely the fault of Aurangzib and his squabbles with the other rulers of India.
