Hardcover. Zustand: New. We are what we are, and where we are in life is because of those who came before us. Within these pages lies more than just a chronicle of names and dates; it's a tapestry woven from the threads of generations past. It paints a vivid portrait of shared heritage, proving that our roots are not just where we come from, but also a compass guiding us to where we belong. In The Road Less Travelled, Rajeev Uberoi traces his roots back to the areas around Sialkot, Gujranwala, Gujarat, and Peshawar, all in modern-day Pakistan, covering the lives of his father, Balkrishan Uberoi's ancestors - unto five generations, and of his progeny-unto two generations. Educated landowners and traders, this particular line of the Uberoi family comes from the small village of Garjakh, a few miles from Gujranwala, which used to be the capital of the Khalsa Raj during the initial days of its existence. They also worked in various capacities in the administration, both, during the Khalsa Raj and under the British. Realising that our stories are not just our own but are woven into the fabric of our family's legacy, leaving an indelible mark on generations to come, Rajeev has worked on this record of his family's history in the hope that it would become a living book, a breathing chronicle that will grow and expand with future generations. Each chapter unfolds to reveal the triumphs and tribulations that have shaped the lives of a generation of the Uberois, travelling through their joy and sorrow, resilience and redemption, making this memoir a testament to the power of kinship and the resilience of the human spirit.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book presents, for the first time, certain hitherto unpublished facets of the history of the erstwhile princely Bhopal State, a period that extended from 1707 CE up to the Independence of India. The Bhopal State, like much of Central India during this period, was a site of continuous flux. With the Marathas, the Nizam, and the British vying for control, the political struggles in Bhopal mirrored the broader conflicts within erstwhile India. The power brokers here had to navigate a delicate balance between these regional forces, while managing the internal affairs of the State. This constant struggle for autonomy amidst foreign control, particularly the subservient relationship with the British, had a profound effect on the State's governance and its people. The East India Company's role in shaping the politics of the State, often through coercion, alliances, and manipulation, was crucial in the consolidation of British power in India. This aspect of Bhopal's history reveals the extent to which local rulers had to accommodate British interests while attempting to maintain their sovereignty. Many historical facts, documented in books written by the some of the Nawabs themselves have also been taken into account. The narrative has been suitably linked with relevant photographs from contemporary or modern times. The emphasis on the monuments and the vibrant mix of communities in Bhopal highlights how physical and cultural legacies can be tied to political and historical developments. Bhopal's architectural landmarks-temples, mosques, and palaces-are likely witnesses to the changing political tides and could tell stories of cultural fusion, as the city housed diverse communities over the centuries. Overall, this is not only a historical account of Bhopal, but also a celebration of its cultural and political heritage, offering a more holistic view of the State's evolution within the broader context of Indian history. It aims to revive a sense of pride and understanding of the region's significant role in shaping the modern nation. "The City of Lakes", is therefore, more than a mere moniker or just a geographical location; it represents the blending of multiple historical and cultural influences.
