Women in modern India. 330 $aThe Mughal empire was one of the largest centralised states in pre-modern world history. It was founded in the early 1500s and by the end of the following century the Mughal emperor ruled almost the entire Indian subcontinent with a population of between 100 and 150 millions. The Mughal emperors displayed immense wealth and the ceremonies, music, poetry, and exquisitely executed paintings and objects of the imperial court created a distinctive aristocratic high culture. In this volume, Professor John Richards traces the history of this magnificent empire from its creation in 1526 to its breakup in 1720. He stresses the dynamic quality of Mughal territorial expansion, their institutional innovation in land revenue, coinage and military organisation, ideological change and the relationship between the emperors and Islam. Professor Richards also analyses institutions particular to the Mughal empire, such as the jagir system, and explores Mughal India's links with the early modern world. 410 0$aNew Cambridge history of India ;$vI, 5. 607 $aMogul Empire$xHistory 607 $aIndia$xHistory 676 $a954/.02/9 700 $aRichards$b John F.$0636601 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248028603316 996 $aMughal Empire$91186936 997 $aUNISA
