About
Admirably researched and written in a magnificently evocative, compelling prose, The Emperor’s Writings narrates the true story of Akbar‘s life and times: his swift and spectacular rise to absolute power, amidst strife and intrigues, and often against overwhelming odds; his remarkably modern vision of a prosperous, diverse and tolerant India; and his eventful personal life, with friendships, enmities and love affairs, against the backdrop of the tragic conflict with Salīm (Jahāngīr), his only surviving son and successor.

The Emperor’s Writings offers ample food for thought on fundamental issues that preoccupy the world of today: love and duty, power and justice, and fundamentalism against diversity and tolerance.
