Book Summary
An Accomplished Scholar And Author Of The Humayun-Nama, Gulbadan Begam Was Also Baburs Daughter, Humayuns Sister And Akbars Aunt. In This Compact Biography, Rumer Godden Draws Upon The Humayun-Nama And Other Records, As Well As Her Own Soaring Imagination, To Create A Portrait Of The Begam And The Mughal Empire As Detailed And Exquisite As Any Miniature. While Still A Child, Gulbadan Travelled From Kabul To Agra, Where Babur Had Established His Capital. She Grew Up In The Cloistered World Of The Zenana, An Idyllic Existence That Was Shattered When Babur Exchanged His Life For Humayuns. Humayuns Reign Was Marked By Hardship After He Lost The Empire And His Vast Army Was Reduced To A Ragtag Band. The Empire Was Regained But, Soon After, Humayun Died In A Freak Accident. He Was Succeeded By Akbar And It Was Under Him That The Mughal Empire Reached Its Zenith, In Territory And In Cultural And Religious Accomplishments. This Rich, Broad Sweep Of History, Written From Gulbadans Point Of View, Is Interspersed With Colourful Re-Creations Of Goings-On Within The Zenana And The Many Diversions And Internecine Politics Of The Royal Court. Combining A Historians Rigour With A Novelists Gift For Invention, Gulbadan Is A Timeless Classic.
