In The India of Aurangzib, the author attempts to present the topography and statistics of Mughal India, which have been gleaned from the Per­sian works Khulasatu-t-Tawarikh, Dastur-al Amal and Chatur Gulshan, all of which are in manuscript form. These have been further sup­plemented by a translation of Abul Fazl’s Ain-i-Akbari as well as by Tieffenthaler’s Geographie d l Indoustan. Additionally, facts have been further checked and corroborated against other reliable sources. The author has provided a very detailed comparison between the India under Akbar and the India under Aurangzeb. Revenues of the several provinces of the Mughal period have also been given separately and cover different periods of time. This volume is arranged in two parts: the first part covers the extent of the Mughal Empire, its revenue, roads and provinces such as Delhi, Oudh, Orissa, Allahabad, Khandesh, Berar, Kashmir, Multan, Bijapur, Bidar and many more. Each of these provinces include details like its history, geographical area, divisions, revenue, places of interest, crops, industries, anything special that the province is noted for, etc. The second part of the book is further divided into three sections. These sections provide information on the rivers, holy sites, forts, statistics and the like of the provinces that fall under either the section ‘Hindustan’ or ‘Deccan’. The ‘Stages and Distances’ pertain to a few of the royal road and halting places. This well-researched, annotated and comprehensive work will ap­peal to research scholars, students and academicians.
