Description
An Account of My Life, also known as Gohur-i-ikbal, is a remarkable autobiography of Sultan Jahan Begam, one of the most notable women of Indian nobility. Translated by C. H. Payne, this work provides an intimate and candid perspective on the personal experiences, family dynamics, and social customs of the royal households during the Nizamate period.
