Book Review: Friday, Jul 13, 2007 http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/life/2007/07/13/stories/2007071350090400.htm Discovery of Mughal India Beyond the Three Seas Travellers' tales of Mughal India Edited by Michael Fisher Publishers: Random House India Price: Rs 350 quote *** Covering a golden period of Indian medieval history, this volume of excerpts from the writings of famous European travellers to India tellingly illustrates what made India great when Europe still reeled under the effects of bigotry and parochialism. Chronologically arranged, the accounts span the years prior to Babur's arrival in India, move on through the reigns of Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb and end up with the first underpinnings of English rule in South India. *** unquote ----- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar Nagpur, India
