Description
This historical treatise examines the pivotal era of the Moghul Empire from the death of Emperor Aurangzeb to the rise and dominance of Mahratta power in India. Henry George Keene provides an in-depth analysis of the political fragmentation, administrative breakdown, and military conflicts that characterized this transformative period.
The work traces the succession disputes, regional upheavals, and the gradual erosion of Moghul authority across the Indian subcontinent. Keene explores how the empire’s weakening central power created opportunities for regional powers, particularly the Mahrattas, to expand their influence. The narrative encompasses diplomatic negotiations, military campaigns, and the socio-political consequences that reshaped India’s political landscape.
Essential for scholars and history enthusiasts, this comprehensive account offers valuable insights into how one of history’s greatest empires declined and ultimately yielded to emerging regional powers, marking a significant transition in Indian political history.
