“This book sounds so interesting. I have put it on my list for the library. grapes”
“Actually the book is written in a way which makes it a whole lot more interesting than normal history books. I did not find it at all boring ( but then I am a pretty fast reader).What I like about it was that WD stuck to the facts and though he must have been tempted to add a few emotions (which definatly would have been a part of James and Khair's life), he did not do it . He gave us only what could be historically proven.I liked the book not because of its romantic element (which I have to admit left a slightly bad taste in my mouth) but rather because it openly tells us about the unfair means East India Company used to capture Indian lands at that time. http://www.simplecapricorn.blogspot.com/”
“While it is enjoyable to read historical (and geographical) details of 17 century Hyderabad, its equally fascinating that someone could research in so much depth...letters, travelogues, monographs, pen-portraits. Sheer amount of literature behind writing this tome could be a thesis in itself. ”
“DID you read the "The Last Mughal"”
“The most path breaking story, hardly known history of India, a society that can absorb anything or anybody.”
