Abstract
MuzaffarAlam and Sanjay Subrahmanyam, two well-known Indian scholars who are now teaching in US universities, have often collaborated to produce some academic works on Mughal India and particularly on travels of the period. Their erstwhile joint effort has resulted in an edited volume, The Mughal State, 1526-1750 (New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 1998) while individually, Sanjay Subrahmanyam, besides other works, has authored a biography of Portuguese discoverer of India as Career and Legend of Vasco da Gama (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997) and MuzaffarAlam’s seminal works include Crisis of the Empire (Delhi, 1986) and The Language of Political Islam in India, c. 1200-1800 (New Delhi: Oxford, 2004) and with S. Alavi, A European Experience of the Mughal Orient:The Ijaz-i-Arsalani (Persian Letters, 1773-1779) of Antoine-Louis Henri Polier (New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2001). However, Indo-Persian Travels is one of their most significant works as it raises some important questions and attempts to provide answers to them.
