Belated #Mughal101 thread! It's time for my least fave Mughal: Humayun. But his rule has it all: soap operatic sibling rivalry! a cunning rival! a Trojan Harem! & gut-wrenching deaths
Hello everyone, welcome to Desi Game of Thrones.
Hello everyone, welcome to Desi Game of Thrones.
Last time we looked at Babur's invasion of India and his indulgence in the time-honoured family tradition of building severed head towers. But sorry folks, Babur is dead now, and he's indulged in another dangerous family tradition: dividing his Empire among his sons.
He leaves India largely to his fave son Humayun, the eccentric, soft-hearted academic of the family. (This is a bad move.) Before he dies he tells Humayun: "Do nothing against your brothers, though they may deserve it." (This is EXTREMELY bad move.)
