Last Spring by Abraham Eraly – Book review

Last Spring has two parts (I & II).

This is not just for the history buffs. As rightly said by ‘William Dalrymple’, these books give us an extensive and interesting introduction to the first six Mughal Emperors of India. Starting from the fearless Babur to determined Aurangzeb, the story of the last golden age of mother India unfolds gradually.
My personal favorite – Akbar.
Akbar, the great, stands true to his title. India flourishes to reach its peak during his reign. Oh the art and architecture marvels! The cultural advancement! It was plain abundance in everything!
And after that comes the descend. Naturally, what goes up has to come down, isn’t it?
If our history teachers at school could have taken us through our country’s history with a narrative like Eraly’s, every student would have become a fan of Indian history.

A must read for everyone to enjoy and relive our history during the Mughal period.
