Culture of Encounters: Sanskrit at the Mughal Court (South Asia Across the Disciplines) by Audrey Truschke

Culture of Encounters recasts the Mughal Empire as a polyglot polity that collaborated with its Indian subjects to envision its sovereignty. This study also reframes the development of Brahman and Jain communities under Mughal rule, which coalesced around carefully selected, politically salient memories of imperial interaction.
