Shahjahan
A.D. 1627 TO A.D. 1657 The Knight-of-the-Rueful-Countenance in his youth, remarkable for his lack of amiability, Shahjahan's character appears to have changed to cheerfulness from the moment when, at the age of thirty-sev... The Anabasis
B.C. 326 TO B.C. 320 "Some talk of Alexander...." Who does not know the context? Who also does not think that he knows who Alexander was, who could not, if necessary, reel off a succinct account of his character, his ... The Ancient Age
As the mind's eye travels backwards across the wide plains of Northern India, attempting to re-people it with the men of olden time, historical insight fails us at about the seventh century B.C. From that date to our own time the written Word step... The Bactrian Camel And The Indian Bull
A.D. 45 TO A.D. 225 The device of a camel and a bull on the reverse and obverse of a coin minted by Kadphises, the first Kushan king in India, is, Mr Vincent Smith remarks, a singularly appropriate symbol for the conques... The Board Of Control
A.D. 1786 TO A.D. 1811 The heroic age of the history of British India is now past. Forced by Fate and by the strong right hand of two strong men, England, with one eye still fixed on gold, had had to turn the other on the... The Days Of The Epics
ABOUT B.C. 1400 TO ABOUT B.C. 1000 The area of India which has now to be considered is much larger. Oudh, Northern Behar, and the country about Benares are comprised in it; but Southern India remains as ever, unknown, even if e... The Extinction Of Monopoly
A.D. 1812 TO A.D. 1833 The Act of Parliament which inaugurates this period did not entirely extinguish the monopoly of the East India Company; that was reserved for the Act which marked its close. Yet the one promulgated ... The Game Of French And English
A.D. 1742 TO A.D. 1748 The eye of France had been on India for a century and a half, for it was in 1601 that a fleet of French merchant ships set out from St Malo for Hindustan, but failed of their destination. The fir... The Great Gupta Empire
A.D. 308 TO A.D. 450 The curtain rises again upon a wedding; the wedding of Princess Kumari Devi. Eight hundred years before, King Bimbi-sara of the Sesu-naga dynasty had strengthened his hold on Magadha by marrying her ... The Great Mauryas
B.C. 321 TO B.C. 184 We come here to one of the landmarks of Indian History. There were seven kings of the Maurya dynasty; of these, two gained for themselves an abiding place in the category of Great World Rulers. Their... The Great Moghuls Babar Emperor Of India
A.D. 1519 TO A.D. 1530 These eleven years are all that India really can claim of Babar's life; yet ever since the day when, after a fatal battle in 1503, he had taken refuge in a shepherd's hut on the Kuh-i-Suliman hills,... The Great Moghuls Babar The Adventurer
A.D. 1483 TO A.D. 1514 Born on St Valentine's Day, A.D. 1483, the boy-baby, who was hereafter to be called Zahir-ud-din Mahomed, and nicknamed Babar, must have been plentifully supplied with fairy godmothers, for he was g... The Great Moghuls Humayon
A.D. 1530 TO A.D. 1556 Humayon was practically the only son of his father. There can be no doubt that Babar regarded Mahum, the mother of the four children of whom he was so passionately fond, Humayon, Rose-blush, Rose-fa... The Great Mutiny
A.D. 1857 TO A.D. 1859 Heaven knows there were not wanting signs and portents in India before "'fifty-seven" which might have put statesmen on their guard--had they known of them. But the terrible fact is that they did... The House Of Sur
A.D. 1542 TO A.D. 1554 Sher-khan, the man who, worsting Humayon, seized on the throne, had no atom of royal blood in his veins. He was a plain soldier, though of good birth; but, his father neglecting him, he had run away...
