| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | In a fascinating and innovative study,Ruby Lal explores domestic life and the place of women in the Mughal court of the sixteenth century. Challenging traditional, orientalist interpretations of the haram that have portrayed a domestic world of seclusion and sexual exploitation, the author reveals a complex society where noble men and women negotiated their everyday life and public-political affairs in the "inner" chambers as well as the "outer" courts. Using Ottoman and Safavid histories as a counterpoint, she demonstrates the richness, ambiguity and particularly of the Mughal haram, which was pivotal in the transition to institutionalization and imperial excellence. |
