Abstract: Nishan is a mandate issued by queen, prince, princess to Mughal nobles. It is a public and
legislative document carrying seal and tughra. Generally, it had the sanction of the Emperor. The
basic construct of Nishan was more or less similar to farman and manshur. The context of nishan
varied considerably from exchange of gifts to devising strategies of war of succession, Kabul and
Deccan campaign, internal party politics, importance of Rajput support etc. This document
remains an untapped mine of information. A scrutiny of the nishans indicates that royal ladies
enjoyed an exalted position in the Mughal administration.
