Historical Event

Interaction between a Christian missionary and Shah Abd al Aziz of Delhi:

The missionary asked if the Prophet Muhammad was the beloved prophet of God why did he not ask God to save his grandson Husayn and his children. The assassination of Husayn, he said it proved that the Prophet Muhammad was not beloved of God.

Shah Abd al Aziz replied that the Prophet did go to God for help, but God said that He could not help his grandson because he could not save HIS OWN SON from crucifixion. This reply silenced the missionary, and he paid the promised amount to Metcalfe.

Amir Khan Pindari – An Unrecognized Genius

It was Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, who compelled the British Government at the peak of its power to remove the Black Hole Memorial-a stigma on the fair name of Nawab Siraj-ud Daula. Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan stand supreme among freedom-fighters-time and again they compelled British arms to surrender ignominiously.

When Ashfaqullah was asked to offer an apology to the British Government, he retorted sharply, ‘Let a Muslim also sacrifice his life for the country.’ Of such stuff were the brave souls who broke but would not bend made. In the military sphere, in modern India, there is one such person and his achievements require impartial and unbiased judgement. He is Nawab Amir Khan, the ruler of Tonk State in Rajasthan from A.D. 1817 to 1834. He is popularly known as Mir Khan or Amir Khan Pindari.

Bihar My Story

The Kutchehriโ€ฆ “Manjhla Estate”

Located in the Dhadhar river valley between the thickly forested hills of the Maher and Rangaini Range the zamindari listed with the District Collector of Gaya as โ€œManjhla Estateโ€ was called โ€œsarkarโ€ (government) by the villagers in the area. It was called sarkar because that was all the governance that was. The forests stretching over almost 3000 square miles were just one of the wildernesses that connected the Magadh region to heights of the Chotanagpur plateau. The region teemed with wild life so typical to Indiaโ€™s wildernesses, and was home to tigers, leopardsโ€™ herds of sambhar, cheetal, barking deer, sloth bears, wild boar pea-fowl and jungle fowl.
