T.C.A. Raghavan will talk about two noblemen Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan and his father Bairam Khan against the backdrop of the courtly intrigues, the brutal power struggles and the grand literary endeavors of the Mughal court. He will, in this background also look at their afterlives—how history has reincarnated them as national heroes; how their life stories have undergone subtle transformations; and, at how history, religion and literature combine in the broader context of communalism, nationalism and nation building.
