About this listen
The opulent, sometimes scandalous private lives of the Mughals of India is brought to life in this book. The text covers various aspects of their lifestyles, such as their food and drinks; clothes and ornaments; perfumes and incense; addictions and intoxicants; amusements and pastimes; rituals of circumcision; and marriage and harem life. This well-written book will be a delight to the lay reader as well as the serious scholar.
Titled as it is, the book deals with the little known but much scandalised private life of the Mughals, who ruled from 1526 practically to 1803, when the British captured Delhi and Agra, their nerve centres, from them. This included the period of the reign of three great Mughals, viz. Akbar (1556-1605), Jehangir (1605-27) and Shah Jahan (1628-58), of little more than a century.
They possessed not only fabulous wealth but also the vision to found a culture-state in the real sense of the term. Planting it in the soil as naturally as a banyan tree, they institutionalized their life as much as their government. The former, almost completely shrouded in mystery, offers one of the most interesting aspects of medieval Indian history and culture.

Insightful
Our lost history & glory. Will surely change your views about Moghuls.
Hard copy is more insightful than just a audiobook.

Well written with inside stories
Author has done a commendable job in writing this book giving ample examples of the life of moghul emperors and their pastime. Harem organization is detailed out as a real eye-opener for me. their wealth, godly stature, administrative skills plus passion for women and fineries in terms of food, hunting, wine&dine, arts and hobbies are well crafted. only drawback was too much detailing of price of vegetables, fruits, ingredients, knitting and stitching and clothing were a big drag. also the Mughals prior to the three narrated here could have been a good coverage but perhaps that much written content is not available for those previous moghul kings.
overall a good read/listen.

definitely worth reading
Awesome book for history connoisseurs or even for a layman looking to read a good book. The sections are well categorized and provide great insights into the smallest of the things managed in those times. Narration of the book is interesting and one doesn't lose interest at any point of time. one of the finest books providing insights into the life of Mughals. must read!
