Quotes by Ira Mukhoty (?)

“They were pragmatic about women who ‘fell’ to an enemy, unlike their contemporaries, the Rajputs, who invested so heavily in their women’s sexual chastity that death, through sati, was preferred to ‘loss of honour’ to an enemy.”
― Ira Mukhoty, Daughters of the Sun: Empresses, Queens and Begums of the Mughal Empire

3 likes

“The honour of Mughal men was not as irretrievably bound to the sexual chastity of their women.”
― Ira Mukhoty, Daughters of the Sun: Empresses, Queens and Begums of the Mughal Empire

3 likes

“But the journey to the building of the Taj Mahal is not straightforward. It involves monstrous egos, a flawless aesthetic vision, profligacy and also, fragile as the bulbul’s song, love.”
― Ira Mukhoty, Daughters of the Sun: Empresses, Queens and Begums of the Mughal Empire
