Overview: Groups

Urdu books 24 books / 23 members / 198 posts I realized a while ago that all our heroes and cult figures happen to be Westerners and not from our part of the world. Not that there is anything wrong with admiring non Eastern personalities but sadly most of these personalities happen to be celluloid Hollywood figures. We need real life inspirations preferably from our own history to motivate us. To accomplish that I went out and bought two Naseem Hijazi novels namely “ Moazzam Ali” and “Aur Talwaar Toot Gai”. Moazam Ali is sequel to Aur Talwaar Toot Gai. One features Siraj Ud Daula and battle of Plassey 1757, the other Sultan Tipu Shaheed and battle of Sirangapatam 1799. I was quite impressed with Sultan Tipu’s courage and brilliance as both a ruler and as a military leader. This was one leader who is even praised by the opposite side for his bravery. The fact that he did not escape like most kings but chose to die along side his soldiers at the time of impending defeat tells us a lot about his personality. He was the one who stated that “ A single day in the life of a lion is better than a thousand years in the life of a jackal” and died to prove it, his broken sword still held firmly in his lifeless hand (hence the book title Aur Talwar Toot Gai ) . He truly was the lion of Mysore. So I have found at least one hero I was looking for. I would be happy if you share yours with me.
