About Humayunnama
The Humayun-nama, also known as the Ahwal Humayun Padshah Jamah Kardom Gulbadan Begum bint Babur Padshah amma Akbar Padshah, is a 16th-century historical prose text written by Gulbadan Begum, a Mughal princess and the daughter of Emperor Babur. Commissioned by her nephew, Emperor Akbar, the manuscript chronicles the life and reign of her brother, Emperor Humayun, as well as providing an intimate glimpse into the social dynamics of the early Mughal harem. It is notable as the only surviving contemporary historical account written by a woman of Mughal royalty during the 16th century.
