More about the book

The book explores the enduring influence of Perso-Islamic kingship on Indian political life over nearly eight centuries. It highlights how Persian ideals of justice, military valor, and honor shaped a unique political expression in medieval South Asia. By examining contributions from various figures, Auer illustrates the Persian king's significant role in the political history of Islamicate societies, particularly in India. He traces this legacy from early empires to the establishment of Delhi as a capital, revealing the deep connections between Persian and Indian political traditions.
