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.

Sir Sultan Ahmed fought for united India risking his own life
Recently Sultan Palace of Patna has been in the news for the very same reason. The Bihar Government wants to demolish it while the people of Patna want to save this heritage building. For most of them, it is an issue concerning a heritage building but it is much more than that.
Sultan Palace was built by Sir Sultan Ahmed almost a century ago. Sir Sultan Ahmed is mostly remembered as a jurist and educationist but very few in India remember him as a person who campaigned against the partition and put his life in danger to keep India united.
Yes, you read it correctly. On 27 October, 1947, Sultan Ahmed was held hostage at his official residence in Hyderabad by 30,000 Razakars of Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen led by Qasim Rizvi, the leader of Razakars. Wielding swords this huge band of Razakars took an army battalion led by Brigadier Gilbert to stop.
