Abstract
Through this paper, the author seeks to bring out the essentiality of Humayunama as a source of Mughal history. In the process, the source’s impact on the contemporary world will also be analyzed. The author would also use a feministic lens to review the source’s content and Gul Badan’s status as the only female writer of sixteenth-century Mughal India and utilize such analysis to shed light on the fact that Humayunama was one of the most non-conventional sources of the period as mentioned above.
