Description

Explore the deep history of South Asian political life with In the Mirror of Persian Kings by Blain Auer. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization, this work examines how Perso-Islamic kingship served as a dominant social and cultural paradigm in India for nearly eight hundred years. Blain Auer details how Persian kingship functioned as a hybridized and adaptive political expression within the medieval world of South Asia. The book investigates the ideals of justice, military heroics, and honor that defined the Persian king. By looking at the influence of the pre-Islamic Persian past, this text provides a new perspective on how these forms of kingship shaped empires and courts throughout the region.
