A unique take on Mughal history. Some chapters were more engaging than others, but the overall exploration of Sanskrit’s impact was worthwhile and thought-provoking.
Yash Arya –
An interesting topic, but I found the writing style quite academic and difficult to get through. It required a lot of focus. The content was good overall.
Abhishek Shukla –
Excellent scholarship! The book provides compelling evidence of Sanskrit’s role in shaping Mughal culture. A must-read for history buffs and academics alike.
Amritashree Sivakumaran –
The book explored a unique topic. While interesting, it felt too focused on specific textual analysis, losing sight of the bigger picture at times. It could be better.
Pranika Agarwal –
A fascinating look at Sanskrit’s influence in the Mughal court. It sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of their rule. Some parts were dense, but overall, very informative.

This book opened my eyes to the multilingual nature of the Mughal court. It was scholarly and insightful, revealing a new perspective on the era. Highly recommend!
Rishi Jain –
I enjoyed learning about the cultural exchange between Sanskrit scholars and the Mughal Empire. The book is well-researched, though a bit dry at times. Good read though.
Anwesha Sahoo –
Culture of Encounters is a great title. The book had good points, but it got bogged down in details, losing the general picture sometimes. I was hoping for more.
