An Afghan Pioneer
Excerpt from An Afghan Pioneer: The Story of Jahan Khan Jahan Khan rose hastily from his mat and after an anxious glance at the sick man, who had fallen into an uneasy slumber, he crept from the tent. On the barren hillside where they had encamped, no water could be had for the ablutions prescribed by his religion, so he cleansed his hands and feet with sand, and ran down the hill to join the throng of worshippers at a little mosque on the roadside. It was a small building cemented together with mud, and from a niche in the centre, his face toward Mecca, the holy city, the mullah or priest led the prayers of the congregation.

A Translation of the Memoirs of Eradut Khan
A nobleman of the court of the Mughal emperor, Iradat Khan (c.1649-1716) experienced the rule of Aurangzeb (1618-1707) and observed at first hand the decline of the Mughal empire. This English translation of his memoirs was first published in 1786 by Jonathan Scott (1754-1829), a captain of the East India Company. He translated Khan's memoirs in order to educate the British about India's history and inform them about the Mughal empire. In these memoirs Khan relates anecdotes of his encounters with Aurangzeb and recounts the events following the emperor's death, including the rule of his son Bahadur Shah (1643-1712) between 1707 and 1712. The memoirs conclude with the death of Jahandar Shah (1661-1713), who ruled only briefly before being beaten in battle, captured and executed. Also included are extracts from Aurangzeb's last letters.
