Explore the concept of the individual in early modern South Asia with ‘Leaving Legacies’. This compelling book reveals how men constructed legacies through monuments, books, and sons, forging a distinct identity within an ethics of remembrance. Discover how this gendered practice connected the past, present, and future, shaping hierarchical social orders during Mughal rule and beyond. ‘Leaving Legacies’ challenges Western-centric views by demonstrating the deep-seated concern for individual selves and the crucial role of legacy-making in the reproduction of empire, family, and social structures. A must-read for those interested in South Asian history, social history, and the evolution of individual identity.
