Abstract

The historical legacy of Mughal rule in India has never been devoid of the interplay of power politics and identity throughout its long history. Needless to say, the history of Mughal women abounds in instances of power struggle and hegemonic interplay of social position. This research paper intends to highlight Ira Mukhoty’s Daughters of the Sun and Indu Sundersan’s The Twentieth Wife, which explicitly throw light on this power exchange that inevitably occurred in the Mughal empire. The historical representation of Mughals has been surrounded by narratives of the central patriarchal seat of power. Besides, the paper intends to establish the dedication, intelligence, valor, and diplomacy of these Begums whose stories have never been part of the popular narrative. The catalytic role that these women played in building the Mughal empire, as Mukhoty says, needs to be studied as an essential aspect of the development of the Mughal kingdom in India. Considering popular theories of studying cultural theory, this paper questions the prevalent ideas of privilege, power, and position associated with the title of the Badshah Begum and reveals the true socio-cultural suppression that functioned in the background. This paper brings out how the Begums perceived the importance of the title themselves at the personal level, thus contributing to the growth of the domestic, economic, political, and academic levels.

Abstract

Background: Delivery in an upright position aligns the uterine forces with the pelvic cavity and decreases the duration of the second stage of labor. The upright position is also reported to reduce the risk of cesarean deliveries. The present study was planned to compare the mode of delivery in women delivering in supine versus upright (squatting and kneeling) positions. Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care center's Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Women in early stage of labor were counseled about various labor positions. Women who adopted supine, kneeling, and squatting positions in second stage of labor were divided into three groups according to their choice. The women were followed for effect of position in second labor stage on delivery mode. Results: A total of 210 women were enrolled in the study. The three groups were comparable in terms of demographic parameters, except that women in the supine group were younger than women assuming upright positions in the second stage of labor. The rate of cesarean section and moderate/severe PPH was increased in women assuming the supine position in the second stage of labor. However, the difference was not statistically significant, p=0.209 and 0.223, respectively. The mean duration of the second stage of labor was significantly increased in women delivering in the supine position, p=0.001. Conclusion: Upright (kneeling and squatting) position significantly decreases duration of second stage of labor but is not associated with a difference in cesarean delivery rate compared to women in the supine group.
