Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In Turkish, this paperback spans 720 pages and measures 14.00 / 21.00 cm. The narrative centers on the first ruler to unify India under a central authority during a tumultuous period marked by violent religious wars in Europe and Asia. To achieve social consensus, Ekber Shah established a new faith called Din-i Ilahî, integrating the moral principles of Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. This initiative united diverse religious communities under his banner, fostering a powerful state. Ekber proclaimed himself an indisputable authority in both religious and worldly matters, facing severe criticism from Islamic scholars. After his death, Din-i Ilahî vanished entirely. The subsequent years saw the British exploit trade as a pretext to settle in India, using religious and linguistic divisions to implement their plans for division, governance, and colonization. Based on extensive research and structured as letters penned by Ekber Shah himself, this novel recounts the true life story of the ruler. It highlights his rapid ascent to absolute authority and his vision of a harmonious India where various faiths coexist peacefully. The backdrop features his tumultuous personal life, including his relationship with his beloved wife and the tragic rivalry with his only surviving son, Salim Cihangir.
