Daughters of the Sun: Empresses, Queens & Begums of the Mughal Empire review: Inside the zenana
Writers, poets, builders, traders, milk-mothers, providers of sage counsel to brothers and sons, caregivers and protectors of infant princes, peripatetic companions in strange lands accompanying warrior husbands, repositories of dreams and dynasties, accomplished and better educated than their contemporaries anywhere in the world, visible symbols of power and opulence sometimes and sometimes the unseen but politically astute power behind the throne — Mughal women were all this and more. Daughters of the Sun is a luminous account of the many women who lived in the shadow of their men yet led remarkable lives forming links in a chain that encircled all of Hindustan. Beginning from 1500, when a 17-year-old Babur marries for the first time, till the lamp of Mughal glory is snuffed out in 1857, this is a first-of-its-kind parallel history.

Sharoon Masih, described as “an incredibly bright student from an impoverished Christian family” by the British Pakistani Christian Association , was targeted from his first day at the school, where he was the only Christian in his year. Classmates isolated Sharoon, telling him: “You’re a Christian, don’t dare sit with us if you want to live,” according to Christian Today . They also attempted to convert him, slapped him, and verbally abused him as a ‘chura’ — a pejorative term for Christian — and refused to let him use a common drinking water cooler. Muslims are discouraged from drinking from the same vessels as non-Muslims in Islam, and another Pakistani Christian — Asia Bibi — ended up languishing on death row for years following a dispute over her fitness to carry a … [Read more...] about Pakistani Christian Beaten to Death by Muslim Classmates ‘Whilst Teacher Read Newspaper’
Recreating Mughlai cuisine
Delhi’s Mughlai cuisine goes back 500 years though the history of West Asian non-veg dishes dates to the 12th century when the Sultanate came into being. Even now if you travel through the narrow gullies of Old Delhi you will find that there is much more on offer than just chaat. The ninth edition of the Dilli 6 Food Festival at Okhla gave us a taste of delicacies from the reigns of the Tomars, Sultans, Mughals and the British to Punjabi, Baniya and Kayastha cuisine. There was a lavish buffet spread of 80-plus dishes every day at the festival. Named after the pin code of the Walled City, the annual festival hosted as “Edesia” at Crowne Plaza took one through a culinary tour of Delhi spanning through time, dynasties and generations. According to Chef Swaminandan, “The old city shares an intimate relationship with food across the dynasties which have ruled the mainland: the Pandavas, Tomars, Mughals and British. The food at Purani Dilli is sumptuously garnished with culinary secrets … [Read more...] about Recreating Mughlai cuisine
