Abstract A recurring question while discussing Islamic political states is the role of women within it.
Accomplishments of male members have been documented preferentially disregarding those by the women. This project shall bring attention to the largely overlooked presence of the women in political and administrative chambers of one of the world's largest Islamic monarchies - the Mughal Empire. Outstanding and influential women who complimented their male counterparts in running the Empire. A modern theme in feminist literature is reclaiming voices of the women. Similarly, multiple women scholars have aimed to document the Mughal women's contribution in the dynasty's copacetic running. With threads of women's contribution intertwined in the Mughal courts political fabric, giving voice to her story, and allowing the discounted matriarchs a stage to highlight themselves is important. This project intends to analyse several important women who played significant roles in running the Mughal Empire by participating actively in the political affairs, through multiple authentic sources and illuminate their influence in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
