AKBAR & HIS INDIA (OIP)

In Akbar and His India, renowned historian Irfan Habib offers a vivid portrait of one of India’s most iconic emperors and the dynamic society he ruled. Through a collection of insightful essays, Habib explores Akbar’s policies, religious ideas, and statecraft, all set against the rich tapestry of 16th-century India. Far from romanticising the Mughal era, this work critically examines the complexities of empire, pluralism, and governance in Akbar’s time. With scholarly depth and lucid prose, Akbar and His India is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, politics, and culture in early modern South Asia.
