A lecture by Dr. Corinne Lefevre<\/p>\n

On Monday Nov 7, Dr. Corinne Lefevre, scholar of Mughal history and co-director of Centre D\u2019Etude Indi-Asie du Sud, Paris, gave a lecture focusing on a text known as the Majalis-e-jahangiri. Dr. Lefevre introduced the audience to this Mughal text which records the night-time debates held between the Mughal emperor Jahangir and religious scholars of Sunni, Shia, Jesuit and other persuasions. Dr. Lefevre chose interesting snippets from the Majalis, illustrating the variety of discussion held at the Mughal court at this time specifically between religious scholars or \u2018ulama and the emperor. These included a story of how Jahangir proposed annulling certain verses from the Quran which he believed to be \u2018anachronistic.\u2019 The story was meant to illustrate the seriousness of the Mughal emperor\u2019s messianic claims. Other stories illustrated the tense dynamic between the Iranian and the Indian at the court, showing how eager the locals would be to prove the \u2018inferiority\u2019 of the Iranian and so establish their own legitimacy.
\nA 15-minute Q&A session followed the lecture. Corinne Lefevre is co-director of Centre D\u2019Etude Indi-Asie du Sud, and is the author of (with Ines \u017dupanov G. and J.
