Understanding Mughal India Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries, Orient Blackswan, Hyderabad, 2020, pp. 365, Price ` 395/-.

This book is purported to be a text book. Therefore, much of what it contains is already known for it is more or less based on known secondary sources. It is an overall history of Mughal India covering political, social, economic, religious and art history. But it is more than that in the sense that it contains some other information on these aspects. For example, the author gives biographical sketches of the contemporary writers which are not so known. The pictures given in it are interesting and the glossary at the end is especially useful. But it has some minor but avoidable errors.
