Mughal India

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course provides a dual chronological and thematic approach to the study of one of the greatest empires in human civilization: the Mughal Empire. Although the bulk of this course will focus on the political, social and economic aspects of Mughal Empire during its heyday between the 1550s and the early 1700s, careful attention will also be paid to the larger historical and geographical contexts that both enabled the emergence and, ultimately, decentralization of Mughal power.
