Re: Urdu literature on Mughals
I have a hard copy of Mughal Darbar by Doctor Mubarak Ali. It's in Urdu, and a book adaptation of his PhD thesis on Mughals. Quite an informative read.
Hareem, I can mail you that book. Let me know.
That would be great help...let me pm you my email. (aww you're so kind)
Re: Urdu literature on Mughals
there are three battles of Panipat
One during Babar's invasion
Second during Akbar ascencion
Third between Durranis and Marathas

Actually Babar introduced Mughals in India, main reason of establishment of Mughal empire goes to Akbar alone.

Interesting. Why and when this ban was imposed?
Re: Urdu literature on Mughals
Hemu, the napoleon of India, who had won 22 battles one after another, was wiining the second battle of panipat but was struck in the eye througgh an arrow out of nowhere and with his sudden death, mughals won the lost war. If mughals had lost this battle, they had leave hindostan again, perhaps forever.

Rana Sanga has more battles to his name than Hemu
Napolean of India is Chandragupta Vikaramaditya of Gupta dynasty.
Re: Urdu literature on Mughals
Its not me who is calling him Napoleon of India, its indian historian.Hemu-Napoleon of Medieval India - Bhardwaj - Google Books
For us Afghans, he was a general of Adil Shah suri. The success ratio of hemu in battles is higher than rana sanga.
