Soft cover. Zustand: New. A debauched ruler, who was a proponent of arts and culture while the East India Company confiscated his prosperous kingdom, or an unlikely hero, who had a crown of thorns placed on his head when he was meant for the finer things in life? History has not been kind to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh. Never an astute ruler, the confiscation of his kingdom by the British was a bloodless exercise. However, his legacy thrives on, not just as the last king of Awadh but also as the last great patron of arts and splendour, who stayed true to himself until the end and created his own realm, even in exile. And then there was Hazrat Mahal, a courtesan who rose in the annals of history as Begum Hazrat Mahal, the warrior queen. The British had assessed the King well but made a fatal mistake by underestimating his wife. It was the Begum who went on to teach a lesson to the till-then-invincible East India Company. Unprecedented in the history of India, native sepoys and volunteers rallied behind Begum Hazrat Mahal, willing to sacrifice their lives for their motherland. This is a story of a nawab and a begum. With simultaneous biographies knit together in one book, this is an attempt to explore the enigmatic relationship between Wajid Ali Shah and his unsung warrior queen, Begum Hazrat Mahal.…

Zulfiqar Khan Qaramanlu. Notes to the text. Notes to the translation. Index. Tarjuma i Manakutuhala and Risala i Ragadarpana is a combined treatise by Nawab Saif Khan better known as Faqirullah the first is translation (tarjuma) and the other an original treatise on the subject of the practised music of the time. In 1071 A.H. (1661 A.D.) the author relinquished his job under Aurangzeb and went back to Sirhind his own province. In these self imposed retirement days he took upon himself to draft the first copy of his risala. The work of translating the aforementioned Pothi he undertook two years later in the year 1073 A.H. (1663 A.D.). And as he himself states a document such as this is worth all reliance this Faqir set himself upon doing its tarjuma (translation) supplementing the same with other essentials. The idea has been to enable the seekers of knowledge to become less dependant upon Bharat Sangita Sangitadarpana and Sangita ratnakara. As the seal on the manuscript folio declares Faqirullah was both malik and musannif (owner and the author) of this nuskha (hand written script). It is evident Faqirullah finally completed both his translation and composition (tasnif) in the same continuation in the year 1076 A.H. (1666 A.D.). His treatise is in ten babs (chapters) the Ist bab dealing with reasons of its compilation. IInd bab is on identifying ragas IIIrd on assignment of season and appropriate hour of day and night to every raga IVth on the perception of surs (svaras) Vth on the correct identification of various saz (vadya instruments) VIth on explaining the de merits of go'indah (a poet composer cum performing musician) VIIth on the delineation of awaz (various throat qualities) their categorisation and consideration of the hanjarah (larynx) Bab VIIIth on knowing about the qualities of the Ustad i Kamil (master of art) IXth on understanding of brindah (vrnda orchestra) and about the advantages of performing in orchestration Xth as regards the go'indahs (poet musicians) who have lived during the time.
