Their land, which they called Hindustan, was a conquered one; their language was Persian; they employed Hindu and Muslim artists and commissioned books and paintings with themes drawn from these varied traditions, and from Europe. This complex cultural framework produced some of the finest court paintings ever seen in the Subcontinent."
