Focusing on the literary landscape of late Mughal Delhi, this work examines how 'Abd al-Q dir "B dil" and his students navigated their authorship amidst political challenges. It highlights their innovative use of Perso-Arabic and Hindavi canons, emphasizing the nuanced interplay between poetics and politics. Key contributions include a fresh interpretation of B dil's Sufi retelling of a Hindu kingship tale, insights into Sir j al-Din 'Al Kh n "rz"s historical approach, and an analysis of Bindr ban D s "Khvushg " blending differing authorship models to establish his identity as a Sufi historian.
