Items related to The Teenage Diary of Nur Jahan {Mehr-Un-Nissa}
Long before she became Nur Jahan - Emperor Jahangir's last wife and the most influential Mughal queen - she was Mehr-un-nissa. Born to Persian refugees who attained eminence at the Mughal court, Mehr-un-nissa grew up on the fringes of Emperor Akbar's court in Agra, Kabul and Lahore. In this fictional diary, Deepa Agarwal gives us a glimpse into the queen's teenage years; how she grows into a strong and passionate young woman; her love for poetry and writing; and her interest in the larger world around her. Her diary also describes the Mughal world through the eyes of a young girl; the vibrant Meena Bazaars: the elaborate festival celebrations; and the intracacies of life in the zenana. But above all, her diary records her ambition to meet the love of her life and also to carve a place for herself in history.
