Travels in the Mogul Empire, 1656-1668 is a travelogue written by French physician and traveler Francois Bernier. The book chronicles Bernier's travels throughout the Mughal Empire, which covered parts of present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, during the mid-17th century. Bernier's travels were made during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb, and his account offers valuable insights into the political, social, and cultural landscape of the Mughal Empire during this period. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of Bernier's travels. He describes his journey from Europe to India, his encounters with various rulers and officials in the Mughal court, and his experiences traveling through different parts of the empire. Bernier also provides detailed descriptions of the people, customs, and religions he encountered during his travels. One of the most significant aspects of the book is Bernier's observations on the decline of the Mughal Empire. He notes the corruption and inefficiency of the government, the decline of the economy, and the growing unrest among the people. Bernier's observations provide a valuable historical record of the Mughal Empire during its final years. Overall, Travels in the Mogul Empire, 1656-1668 is an important historical document that offers a vivid and detailed account of life in the Mughal Empire during the 17th century. It is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of India and the Mughal Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
