Supriya Gandhi

    Supriya Gandhi è una storica dell'India Moghul specializzata in storia religiosa e docente di studi religiosi presso la Yale University. Il suo lavoro approfondisce le complesse interazioni religiose e culturali dell'Asia meridionale moderna. Esplora come diverse credenze e pratiche si siano intersecate e abbiano plasmato la società indiana durante quest'epoca. Gandhi apporta una prospettiva acuta ed erudita allo studio della religione e della storia.

    The Emperor Who Never Was
    • Dara Shukoh was the heir-apparent to the Mughal throne in 1659, when he was executed by his brother Aurangzeb. Today Dara is lionized in South Asia, while Aurangzeb, who presided over the beginnings of imperial disintegration, is scorned. Supriya Gandhi's nuanced biography asks whether the story really would have been different with Dara in power.
