books on akbar and jodha
I am making a thread to list books on Mughals. Because many people will have no idea of the various books on Mughals especially Akbar. You can give the book name and a short synopsis so others can know about the books/novels. Please include author names too so anyone wants to buy etc it will be useful. You can list movies made on them with name, year and director details too with synopsis and any series like History channel series on Mughals etc.
Well Akbar has many wifes and his third wife is hira kunwari daughter of raja bharmal and she is the mother of Akbar's son salim/Jahangir, this was true and she was a rajuput princes. What ever names they use Hira kunwari or jodha how it matters. Zee or any other flim maker has already mentioned that they have just taken the fact and adding drama, why can't they add hate/ love in the drama. it is just fictional. so enjoy watching it.
During my research, I studied the portraits of Akbar in the Akbarnama published in art history books and read essays written by Mughal scholars about portraiture in Mughal art. I was deeply influenced by the writings of Dr. Susan Stronge, especially her essay in which she categorized the images of the emperor shown in one codex into different genres, which helped shape the personality of Emperor Akbar. Dr. Stronge further divided the illustrations into separate categories and placed groups of images under these subcategories. This exercise was very useful in that it enabled future scholars to study and compare the genres defined by Dr. Stronge.
