Sage, kindly review these 2 remarks which I would like to dispute. I think you are putting way too much importance on the mughal empire. They were just another despotic dynasty in Asia along with dynasties in Japan, China and Persia. All in decline by the time the Europeans were out searching foe colonies.

I see the turk/mongol connection but how can the otoman empire be equated with the Mughals, just because of common ancestry and Islam?

Anyway, really woke up me up in a rather dull morning. I loved your comparison between the trilogy and this new Orientalism theory. Please continue.
