agra empress feminism history indianhistory jahangir jodhpur mughal noorjahan politics rivalry shahjahan throne

The Mughal era is an intriguing period of Indian history. Wars for succession, establishing dominance over the entire landscape of India, court politics- that's what we recall when we think of this period.
What escapes our notice is the Mughal zenana- the women's quarters, which though apparently separated from the court and outdside world had significant influence on the decisions of the Emperors.
Among the Mughal empresses, Nur Jahan was the most famous and her love story with Emperor Jahangir has been turned into songs, poems, ballads, novels, movies. However, Nur jahan had an arch-rival in the zenana- the lady who had tried to stall her entry in Jahangir's life- Empress Jagat Gosaini, the second wife of Jahangir and the mother of Shah Jahan. The princess of Jodhpur, Jagat Gosaini was feared in the zenana for her sharp wit and political wisdom, her dominating personality. The woman who vied for her husband's attention, the woman who strived hard to make her mark, not only in the zenana but also in the court, the woman who challenged the powerful Noor Jahan- Jagat Gosaini's story is enigmatic in more ways than one and throws light into the Mughal politics, zenana and much more.All Rights Reserved

Good For You (Al-Ameen Family #3) by shakethesphere

There are endless examples of "girl hates boy, boy makes girl fall in love, boy and girl live happily ever after" stories. This is just another one. But that's not all. Nazeeha Afzal cared only for three things: God, her job, and her girls. She paid no attention to those around her and did what she had to do to be happy. To the world she was intelligent, independent, and responsible. For those who really knew her, she was pure-hearted, wise, and free spirited. At only 20, she understood how the world worked and she wasn't one to keep quiet about it either. And that's exactly why she and Ali would not get along. Ali Al-Ameen was every girl's perfect man. Charming, funny, and could sing Bollywood songs for days, Ali had no problem becoming best friends with every stranger he met on the streets. This 20 year old lived for excitement, adventure, and the thrill of being alive. It was a shame he fell in love with the one girl who was just like him in every way, but he'd never be able to see it. Nazeeha and Ali were two sides of the same coin, but Nazeeha lived her life carefully. She despised those who had nothing to worry about and strived to bring justice and equality to those harmed by the inequalities in the world. She never saw Ali as anything more than a spoiled, rich kid and he finally met the one person whose walls he couldn't break through. This is your ordinary love story, but about a pair of extraordinary souls. Part of the Al-Ameen Family series: 1. Through the Dark 2. One Way or Another 3. Good For You 4. Naina
