The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.India-a cradle of civilization with five millennia of history, a country of immense consequence and contradiction-often defies ready understanding. What holds its people together-across its many cultures, races, languages, and creeds-and how has India evolved into the liberal democracy it is today?From the Harappan era to Muslim invasions, the Great Mughals, British rule, independence, and present-day hopes, John Zubrzycki distills Indias colossal history into a gripping true story filled with legendary lives: Alexander the Great, Akbar, Robert Clive, Tipu Sultan, Lakshmi Bai, Lord Curzon, Jinnah, and Gandhi. Indias gifts to the world include Buddhism, yoga, the concept of zero, the largest global diaspora-and its influence is only growing. Already the worlds largest democracy, in 2023, India became the most populous nation.Can India overcome its political, social, and religious tensions to be the next global superpower? As the world watches-and wonders-this Shortest History is an essential, clarifying read.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An illuminating and concise telling of the 5000 years of turbulent history that led India from the ruins of ancient civilisations to emerging global superpowerIndia - Over 5000 years of wonderfully colossal and chaotic history.From the earliest humans and the Harappan civilisation to Muslim invaders, the Great Mughals, British rule, the country's struggle for autonomy and present-day hopes and challenges, John Zubrzycki masterfully condenses five millennia of deities, mutinies, wars, great empires, decadent dynasties, invasions, colonisation and independence into a fascinating, lively telling. He brings the complex and contrasting layers of Indian history to life through a well-known cast of characters - Buddha, Alexander the Great, Akbar, Clive, Tipu Sultan, Lakshmi Bai, Curzon, Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi - against a backdrop of the mystical Ganges, the desert forts of Rajasthan, the snow-covered Himalayas and the ruins of India's fabled civilisations.From Buddhism to Bollywood, India has made its mark on Asia and the world. Its progress in tackling poverty and illiteracy have been impressive, but extraordinary challenges remain - not least the threat to its secular fabric. Only time will tell if India can overcome its political, social and religious tensions to rise again and become the next global superpower.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Oneof the most exciting narrative historiesto come out of India.' William DalrympleIt was a scandal thatrocked the highest echelons of the British Raj. In 1891, a notorious jewellerand curio dealer from Simla offered to sell the world's largest brilliant-cutdiamond to the fabulously wealthy Nizam of Hyderabad. If the audacious dealsucceeded it would set the merchant up for life. But the transaction wenthorribly wrong. The Nizam accused him of fraud, triggering a sensational trialin the Calcutta High Court that made headlines around the world.The dealer was AlexanderMalcolm Jacob, a man of mysterious origins. After arriving penniless in Bombayin 1865, he became the most famous purveyor of precious stones in princelyIndia, and a confidante of Viceroys and Maharajas. Jacob also excelled in themagical arts. He inspired all those who met him, including Rudyard Kipling whoimmortalised him as Lurgan Sahib, the 'healer of sick pearls', in his novel Kim.Now for the first time,John Zubrzycki, author of The Last Nizam, conveys the page-turningcolour, romance and adventure of Jacob's astonishing life. Starting on thebanks of the Tigris in modern-day Turkey where Jacob was born, Zubrzycki stripsaway the myths and legends. He follows Jacob's journey from the slums ofBombay, to the fabulous court of the Nizam of Hyderabad, from thehedonistic heights of Simla, the summer capital of the Raj, to the CalcuttaHigh Court. This is a story of India, of strange twists and unexpectedoutcomes. Most importantly Zubrzycki enters into and truly captures the spiritof the mysterious Mr Jacob, one of the most enigmatic and charismatic figuresof his time.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The dramatic true story of the betrayal of hundreds of Indian princely states by both the departing British and the new Congress government. In July 1947, Indias last Viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, stood before New Delhis Chamber of Princes to deliver the most important speech of his career. He had just three weeks to convince over 550 sovereign princely states some tiny, some the size of Britain to become part of a free India.Once Britains most faithful allies, the princes could choose between joining India or Pakistan, or declaring independence. This is a saga of intrigue, brinkmanship and broken promises, wrought by Mountbatten and two of independent Indias founding fathers: the countrys most senior civil servant, V.P. Menon, and Congress strongman Vallabhbhai Patel. What Indias architects described as a bloodless revolution was anything but, as violence engulfed Kashmir and Indian troops crushed Hyderabads dreams of independence.Most princes accepted the inevitable, exchanging their power for guarantees of privileges and titles in perpetuity. But these dynasties were still led to extinction not by the sword, but by political expediency l eaving them with little more than fading memories of a glorified past.[A] gripping history exhaustively researched, and written with all the pace and tension of a thriller of how the fate of the princely states would be determined in the face of independence and Partition. The TelegraphDethroned is set to become a classic on the end of Indias and Pakistans aristocracy. The SpectatorJournalistic flair shines through in Dethroned.
