Indian tradition remembers Dara Shikuh not so much as an emperor’s son, but as a mystic philosopher. The great dream of his life a—dream shattered by his untimely death—was the brotherhood of all faiths and the unity of mankind. After him the vision of unity was lost in the atmosphere of hatred and rivalry created by the warring sects and religious schools, and even today we are living in the age of religious disintegration. The present volume is the outcome of long years of study and research. Life and Works of Dara Shikuh, the tragic philosopher-prince and inheritor of Akbar’s tradition of broadmindedness and religious tolerance, are matters of interest for all serious-minded readers.
