3 quotes from The Last Mughal

'The Last Mughal' is not just a historical narrative; it is a poignant reminder of the personal stories that intertwine with larger historical events, capturing the tragedy of a world undergoing radical transformation.
This book illustrates how the fall of the Mughal Empire mirrored the collapse of a way of life that blended cultures, showcasing the richness of India's pluralistic heritage through the eyes of its last emperor.
Through the struggle of Bahadur Shah II, Dalrymple emphasizes the theme of loss—not just of an empire, but of identity, culture, and the human cost of colonization.
