Travellers in the Golden Realm by Lubaaba Al-Azami is a captivating historical exploration of the relationship between England and India, particularly during the Mughal Empire. The book delves into the encounters of English travelers, merchants, and missionaries with the vibrant and opulent world of Mughal India.
Al-Azami meticulously recounts the experiences of individuals like Father Thomas Stephens, Ralph Fitch, and John Mildenhall, who ventured into the Golden Realm seeking religious refuge, trade opportunities, and adventure. The book offers a rich tapestry of their observations, interactions, and cultural exchanges with the Mughals.
Through their accounts, Al-Azami sheds light on the mutual fascination and misconceptions that existed between the two cultures. She highlights the impact of Mughal India on English perceptions of the East and the enduring legacy of these early encounters on the subsequent development of the British Empire.
