Talk:Gulbadan Begum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article on Gulbadan Begum needs a thorough cleaning and upgradation. I have begun to work on this, and for now I have deleted some unnecessary eulogistic/hagiographic comments on her. I will return to this task again after doing some more research. This is an area of interest to me.

The page seems to be based purely on the Humayun-Nama written by Gulbadan Begum and many sentences are straight lifts from the translation by Annette Beveridge. Also, the writer seems to have confused some of Ms Beveridges biographical details about the Begum with the Begum's own memoirs. For example, Gulbadan Begum's writings end at about the time Humayun finally captured and blinded his brother Kamran, and therefore do not describe any later events in her life, such as the pilgrimage to Mecca.
