Women in Mughal India

This depicts the position of women-chiefly of aristocratic class of Mughal period, the society where women live in seclusion, and public references are avoided as far as possible. Consequently the Chroniclers in Persian or Hindi rarely mention anything about them unless one played a very significant part in politics, literature or religion. The various aspects of their lives-political, social and cultural have also been dealt with. An attempt has also been made to include briefly the life of ordinary women of Hindu and Muslim communities of the time.
