Madhulika Liddle is an Indian writer best known for her books about 17th-century Mughal detective Muzaffar Jang.
Prof. Danish Iqbal is a National awards winning playwright and a faculty at Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi with many well known plays, poetry and documentaries to his credit.
Rana Safvi is a historian, writer, scholar and translator committed to India’s rich cultural heritage and diverse civilizational legacy.

The Mute Eloquence of the Taj Mahal, curated by historian Rana Safvi, positions the Taj itself as a ‘speaking’—though ironically silent—agent through a comprehensive visual narrative, with works spanning from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
