From Penn Today, "In the 1660s, the Mughal Empire controlled the Indian subcontinent and was known worldwide for its strength and opulence. Yet within two decades fortunes shifted as Mughal leaders lost influence to rival warlords and foreign powers. In a new book, Sudev Sheth of the Lauder Institute examines how one of the most dominant early governments lost its grip on empire."
