History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v1.c3.26

v1.c3.26

In the spelling of Eastern words I have followed the Hunterian system, restricting *u* to express the sound of *oo*, except in a very small number of cases (such as *Jumna, nullah, Calcutta*, &c.) I have also in a few instances (like *Barham-deo*) refrained from Sanskritising Hindi proper names, in order to avoid too great a departure from the popular pronunciation. All the dates in the Hijera era have been converted to the Christian era according to the Old Style.
