History of Aurangzib Based on Original Sources Vol. IV: Southern India 1645-1689

Authored by Jadunath Sarkar, this volume is a contribution of prime importance to historical studies. It drives a broad pathway through a very tangled jungle. It clears up many disputed points and throws light on the manners, customs, and character of Aurangzeb. The most valuable part of the book is the careful incorporation of Persian and Marathi unpublished material. Moreover, in addition to a narrative of events of 1707-1739, it contains full and correct accounts of the rise and early history of the Sikhs, Jats, Bundelas, and Marathas.
