About Book

Juliana Nama is a mysterious and historical romantic tale of a legendary European lady and a Mughal Prince, son of Aurangzeb, based on archival evidence scattered around the world. Juliana lived with Prince ShahAlam(Bahadur Shah I) (1643-1712) for more than 45 years. The heroine of this book appears for the first time as Juliana Dias da Costa in a Portuguese document from the oldest Historical Archives of Asia in Goa, while in Persian she is mentioned as a favorite of Bahadur Shah solely in Tarikh-i-Muhammadi.

The saga of Juliana includes the fact that she herself managed tactfully to serve Prince Shah Alam in prison for 7 long years at the greatest risk of her life. It explores a serious inquiry into her phenomenal rise to the height of nobility at the richest court in those volatile times when the gruesome and bloodiest wars for ascending the Peacock Throne were fought. Some other epithets are - Dona, Fidwi Duago Bahadur Shah, Madame de Maintenon, Khanum.
