I don’t know much about Mughal Era or Sundaresan (Sounds like a south Indian guy to me), but i saw Taj Mahal on the title, i was there twice, and it was epic, its a real wonder of the world, the thing about the Taj is its size, i wasn’t expecting it to be so huge and symmetric.

Indu Sundaresan is a she, not a he!

The beauty of these books is in how the author connects the dots and paints a picture of mystery and intrigue within the Mughal Empire. Meherunissa was a sovereign in her own right. She has her own royal seal, had coins minted, held court and issued farmans. Had she given birth to an heir, it’s highly likely there would be no Taj Mahal today. But alas, after rising to the top, she ultimately faded away into obscurity.
