This unique volume brings together essays of a distinguished and pioneering scholar—S. Nurul Hasan. It investigates intensely debated areas in medieval Indian history—historiography, nationalities— along with state, religion, and ruling classes. In doing so, the book offers a new interpretation of Akbar’s religious views, the role of zamindars, and the ‘Nur Jahan Junta’. The author also examines urban and rural life, the Afghan–Mughal conflict, and some important sources of late Mughal history. Satish Chandra’s insightful introduction discusses the personal and professional world of the legendary historian.
