Description:
The only surviving son of Iskander Mirza, Humayun Mirza belongs to a generation whose lives were disrupted by the partition of India in 1947.
In this sweeping historical survey, Humayun Mirza traces the fortunes of his ancestors, the powerful rulers of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, whom Robert Clive defeated at the 'Battle of Plassey' in 1757.
Turning next to the colonial experience of India under British rule, Mirza describes the long struggle for independence that ultimately led to the partition of India and the birth of Pakistan.
