Abstract
In Akbar's time (1556 1605), the territories of the Mughal
emnire included parts of present day Afghanistan, Pakistan, the
whole of northern India and parts of the Deccan, but by 1690,
other once independent states in the Deccan had been incorporated
into the empire. Before his death, Aurangzeb (1658-17 07) had
conquered the greater part of the Deccan, but much of the emnire
was in a state of chronic disorder. Historically, the present work is confined to the period
between 1556 and 1707; geographically, it covers northern, central
and western India, the area generally knot-In as Mughal India, the
administration and power of the Mughals being more or less consolidated
within it. The whole of the Deccan did not come fully
into the administrative orbit of the Mughals even at the end of
the 17th century.
