In a fascinating and innovative study, first published in 2005,
Ruby Lal explores domestic life and the place of women in the
Mughal court of the sixteenth century. Challenging traditional,
orientalist interpretations of the haram that have portrayed a
domestic world of seclusion and sexual exploitation, the author
reveals a complex society where noble men and women negotiated
their everyday life and public-political affairs in the 'inner'
chambers as well as the 'outer' courts. Using Ottoman and Safavid
histories as a counterpoint, she demonstrates the richness,
ambiguity and particularity of the Mughal haram, which was pivotal
in the transition to institutionalisation and imperial excellence.
