The Fall Of The Mogul Empire (1912) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436642583)

The Fall of the Mogul Empire, published in 1912, is a historical account of the decline and eventual collapse of the Mughal Empire in India. Written by Sidney James Owen, a British historian and colonial administrator, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the downfall of the empire. Owen begins by tracing the origins of the Mughal Empire, which was founded in 1526 by Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan. He then describes the reigns of the various Mughal emperors, including Akbar, Jahangir, and Aurangzeb, and the challenges they faced in maintaining their power and expanding their territories. The book also examines the role of British colonialism in the decline of the Mughal Empire. Owen argues that the British East India Company's economic and political influence in India weakened the Mughal rulers and eventually led to their downfall. Throughout the book, Owen provides detailed accounts of major events and battles, as well as insights into the cultural and religious practices of the Mughal Empire. He also includes a discussion of the impact of the empire's collapse on India's subsequent history and the legacy of the Mughal rulers. Overall, The Fall of the Mogul Empire is a comprehensive and insightful account of one of the most significant periods in Indian history. It provides a valuable perspective on the complex political and social forces that shaped the region during this time and sheds light on the lasting impact of the Mughal Empire on India and the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
