The renaissance ushered in the modern age. Its spirit expressed itself creatively in a hundred ways--in literature and the arts, philosophy and the sciences, economics and politics, in living styles and social organisation. Its achievements have been phenomenal.

The Partition in 1947 of an indivisible India is difficult to forget and dangerous to remember. It left rivers of blood flowing and heaped untold miseries on the innocent people of India, the description of which is beyond the scope of human language.

In what ways is this destroying the country? Why doesn't anyone ...

This is not due to any dearth of material, because the Muslims have been ken recorders of events. Nor does this history lack elements of interest; even as a tale of adventure it is worth telling. The Muslims established and sustained an empire in the subcontinent which lasted for several centuries. When it declined and fell, it ...
This book is concerned with the role that the Ulema played in the politics of the Indian subcontinent. It covers a period of a little less than four centuries from 1556 to 1947.
