The Arts of India: From the Mughals to the British Raj Indian culture has been moulded by a succession of foreign invaders over the centuries. This course will look at the founding of the Mughal Dynasty in Northern India in the early sixteenth century and the extraordinary patronage of the great emperors from Akbar to Shah Jahan, the contrasting Hindu empires of Southern India, the impact of the East India Company and the establishment of the British Raj in the nineteenth century. |
