History Of Tipu Sultan

n the present work, an attempt has been made to give an accurate picture of Tipu Sultan by disengaging his personality from masses of fictions and distortions which have gathered round him. As practically the whole of Tipu's life was taken up with fighting, the author has devoted considerable space to campaigns and battles. However, he has not ignored other aspects of his career. He has paid sufficient attention to the causes and results of wars, while Tipus relations with the English, the French, The Nizam, the Marathas and the Ottoman Sultan have been fully discussed. The last three chapters of the book have been devoted to a description of the Sultans government and army, his reforms and religious policy, his efforts at industrialization and state Socialism, his character, his failures and achievements. This pioneering study will enable the reader to appraise the career and character of this extraordinary man. Its scholarly value is enhanced by Professor Hasans extensive use of English, French, Persian and Urdu sources. In this revised and enlarged edition Professor Mohibbul Hasan has made a reassessment of the sources, and attempted, with the help of works, hitherto unutilized, to make a more detailed study of Tipu and fill in the gaps left out in his earlier work. He has accordingly, rewritten a number of chapters, made alterations and additions in others, and corrected mis-statements and removed obscurities which occurred in the first edition. A leading historian, the late Professor Mohibbul Hasan taught History at the Department of Islamic History, University of Calcutta, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, and University of Kashmir, Srinagar. He founded the history department at the Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, and was the universitys first professor.

24 Akbar Road

In India???s constantly changing political, social and economic milieu, the Congress party has stayed one step ahead by constantly reinventing itself to stay in touch with peoples??? aspirations and the political realities of the day. Normally, a political party is known for its commitment to specific economic, social and political issues, but in the case of the Congress, ???ideology??? does not seem to matter in equal measure. In most cases, the Congress???s concept of ???continuity with change??? has helped the party tide over many crises. However, even though it is always adapting and changing, the Congress can by no stretch of the imagination be viewed as an ideologically-neutral organization. Over the years, the grand old party has developed an ideology of its own, albeit in a rather flexible and amorphous manner. This book tracks the story of the contemporary Congress ??? its key characters, its ideology, its failure and its success, in the years after the Emergency. Using the Congress seat of power at 24 Akbar Road as his vantage, author Rasheed Kidwai draws a compelling account of the rule ??? both backseat and forefront ??? of the various Congress leaders, from Indira Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi, who have helped steer its course.
