Aurangzeb's Fatwa on Music: The Emperor Who Silenced the Court
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Aurangzeb's controversial ban on music at the Mughal court. Drawing on the Fatwa-i-Alamgiri, the Maasir-i-Alamgiri, and the accounts of European travelers like Niccolao Manucci, they examine how the emperor silenced the court musicians, including the legendary Tansen's descendants. The conversation delves into the broader context of Islamic jurisprudence on music, the economic and cultural impact on musicians, and the lasting legacy of this policy in the Deccan and beyond.
