Book Description
Legendary Narratives of Hyderabad is a compendium of narratives woven around the legends associated with Hyderabad. The book is a tribute to the great city of Hyderabad. Each legend vividly portrays the enchanting soul/spirit of the city. The magnificent city embodies a rich heritage and a unique culture and its secular spirit embodies peace and amity. The ten chapters of the book beautifully bring to life the confluence of cultures, cuisine, language and literature. They finely blend and enrich the Dakhni Tehzeeb, showcasing a style which is distinctly Hyderabadi in its nature and ethos. Hyderabad remains true to its epithet, “city of good fortune” (Farkhunda Buniyad in Persian). It is a majestic replica of heaven on earth and this book takes you on the journey of its past glory.

Book Description
In the period between the 1770s and 1840s, through the process of colonial state formation, the early colonial state in India was able to harness and extract vast amounts of agrarian wealth in north India. However, little is known of the histories of the Indian scribes and the role they played in shaping the early patterns of British colonial rule. This book offers a new way of interpreting the colonial state’s origins in north India. It examines how the formation of early agrarian revenue settlements exacerbated an extant late Mughal taxation tradition, and how the success of British power was shaped by this extant paper-oriented revenue culture. It goes on to examine how the service and cultural histories of various Hindu scribal communities fit within broader changes in political administration, taxation, patterns of governance and a shared Indo-Islamic administrative culture. The author argues that British power after the late eighteenth century came as much through bureaucratic mastery, paper and taxes as it did through military force and commercial ruthlessness. The book draws upon private family papers, interviews and Persian sources to demonstrate how the fortunes of scribes changed between empires, and the important role they played at the height of the British Raj by 1900. Offering a detailed account of how agrarian wealth provided the bedrock of the colonial state’s later patterns of administration, this book is a unique and refreshing contribution to studies in South Asian History, Governance and Imperialism.
