The Fall Of The Moghul Empire Of Hindustan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419161841)

""The Fall of the Moghul Empire of Hindustan"" by H.G. Keene is a historical account of the decline and eventual collapse of the Mughal Empire in India. The book covers the period from the death of Aurangzeb in 1707 to the British takeover of India in the mid-19th century. Keene provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the decline of the Mughal Empire, including the rise of regional powers, the weakening of central authority, and the impact of European colonialism. The book also explores the cultural and artistic achievements of the Mughal era, including the development of Urdu literature and the construction of iconic monuments such as the Taj Mahal. Overall, ""The Fall of the Moghul Empire of Hindustan"" is a comprehensive and insightful account of one of the most significant periods in Indian history.Yet that might and that greatness were reduced to a mere show before his long reign terminated; and the Moghul Empire resembled -- to use a familiar image -- one of those Etruscan corpses which, though crowned and armed, are destined to crumble at the breath of heaven or at the touch of human hands. And still more did it resemble some splendid palace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
