About The Book : The work analyses the long span of Mughal Deccan for almost fifty years under Emperor Aurangzeb in almost two equal phases,(AD 1659 - 1682 & 1682 - 1707). Book stands out on two major counts: its exhaustive utlilisation of Aurangzeb's collection of letters in Ᾱdᾱb-i 'Ᾱlamgῑrῑ, for the period of Aurangzeb's viceroyalty; secondly, the exhaustive use of the documents in the Inayat Jung Collection, now at the National Archives of India, New Delhi. These documents throw new light on the issue of bejagiri, absence of paibaqi, influx of Deccani mansabdars and the question of jᾱgῑr crisis, pᾱibᾱqῑ and khᾱliṣa with its overall impact on the decline of the Mughal Empire.
