A nobleman of the court of the Mughal emperor, Iradat Khan
(c.1649-1716) experienced the rule of Aurangzeb (1618-1707) and
observed at first hand the decline of the Mughal empire. This
English translation of his memoirs was first published in 1786 by
Jonathan Scott (1754-1829), a captain of the East India Company. He
translated Khan's memoirs in order to educate the British about
India's history and inform them about the Mughal empire. In these
memoirs Khan relates anecdotes of his encounters with Aurangzeb and
recounts the events following the emperor's death, including the
rule of his son Bahadur Shah (1643-1712) between 1707 and 1712. The
memoirs conclude with the death of Jahandar Shah (1661-1713), who
ruled only briefly before being beaten in battle, captured and
executed. Also included are extracts from Aurangzeb's last letters.
