Description:

About ‘Allahu Akbar: Understanding the Great Mughal in Today's India’: While there were always voices that tried to project the Mughals as just another 'Islamic empire', ignoring the civilizational impact they had on India, even for them Akbar was a shining light in an otherwise era of darkness. ‘Allahu Akbar’ seeks to find answers to hard-hitting political questions while providing a profile sketch of the emperor, his empire and his times.
