Explanation:
François Bernier is perhaps the only historian who provides a detailed account of the working of imperial karkhanas or workshops.
Merchants often had a strong community or kin ties and were organized into their own caste-cum-occupational bodies. In western India, these groups were called mahajans, and their chief, the sheth.
The eldest son of Shah Jahan was Prince Dara Shukoh.
Abdur Razzaq Samarqandi visited South India in the 1440s.
