Description

Discover the untold story of the second Mughal ruler in The Planetary King: Humayun Padshah, Inventor and Visionary on the Mughal Throne. This book explores the life of Humayun, son of Babur, who held power in Agra from 1530 to 1540 and in Delhi from 1555 to 1556. While his major achievements like reclaiming the throne of Hindustan are often overlooked in historical records, this work brings his journey to light. Follow the travels and military campaigns of a ruler navigating the political and social unrest of the early 16th century. Beyond his political struggles, the book examines his intellectual pursuits and his unique magico-scientific worldview. Readers will learn about his deep connection to the arts, including his interests in literature, poetry, painting, and architecture. This book also covers his engagement with mathematics and astronomy, providing a comprehensive look at a leader who was as much a thinker as he was a king.
