The book traces the origin and growth of this important institution: it discuses, among other things, the purpose of the Karkhanas, their organization and working, administration and wages of the artisans and skilled craftsmen employed there. It also focuses on issues like the manufacturing centres, storage houses and the technology for production as it developed under the Mughals. The book which throws fresh light on a most important aspect of medieval India, should be great interest to all scholars and students engaged in the study of economic development during this period of Indian history.
