Event Description : "Light of the World – Nur Jahan in Legend and History" a talk by Dr. Ruby Lal as part of the 'Frontiers Of History' Series.

The written and visual sources for Nur Jahan’s sovereignty, life and times, are opulent. Foremost among the Persian records is the memoir of her husband – Emperor, the Jahangirnama, in which she merges in unprecedented terms: sensitive consort, skilled politician, aesthetic woman. This lecture brings together the ‘facts’ of the historical record with the legends of the public imagination in order to capture Nur’s life in a more rounded fashion.

Speaker : Dr. Ruby Lal, Dept. of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies, Emory University, Atlanta USA

Chair : Ms Namita Gokhale (tbc)
