{"product_id":"imperial-identity-in-the-mughal-lisa-balabanlilar-9781784531287","title":"Imperial Identity in the Mughal Empire: Memory and Dynastic Politics in Early Modern South and Central Asia","description":"Having monopolized Central Asian politics and culture for over a century, the Timurid ruling elite was forced from its ancestral homeland in Transoxiana at the turn of the sixteenth century by an invading Uzbek tribal confederation. The Timurids travelled south: establishing themselves as the new rulers of a region roughly comprising modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, and founding what would become the Mughal Empire (1526-1857). The last survivors of the House of Timur, the Mughals drew invaluable political capital from their lineage, which was recognized for its charismatic genealogy and court culture - the features of which are examined here. By identifying Mughal loyalty to Turco-Mongol institutions and traditions, Lisa Balabanlilar here positions the Mughal dynasty at the centre of the early modern Islamic world as the direct successors of a powerful political and religious tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Balabanlilar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784531286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784531287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
