Aurangzeb ‘Alamgir and the Mughal Empire: A History Retold by Munis D. Faruqui offers a detailed reassessment of Aurangzeb’s life and reign. Drawing on extensive archival records, including Mughal court newsletters, the book explores his rise to power, family rivalries, court politics, administrative and religious policies, military campaigns, and the influential roles of women and eunuchs in the imperial household. It challenges simplistic portrayals of Aurangzeb as either a religious fanatic or an idealized ruler, presenting a nuanced account of his ambitions, challenges, decisions, and the gradual weakening of the Mughal Empire.
