Hooks grapples with discrepancies between a Western and an Eastern take on prostitution in a country where tradition and necessity cast disturbing slants on the truth.
This book deals with the defiant resistance faced by Mughals from the Zamindars of Bengal for more than eighty years, the atrocities of the Nawabs of Bengal, and the false allegations on Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah by the British. History, during the Mughal period, was recorded by royal courtiers who wrote about the Emperors and Governors, exalting their victories and achievements. Rarely were the resistance of the Zamindars of Bengal recorded, if at all mentioned. The British contorted history to suit their schemes, denigrating and deriding the people of this country to justify colonial rule. The history of India, as taught to us, is not always a true depiction. It is the history of the foreigners who came and ruled India. The history has been repeatedly dressed up to suit their requirements. Facts have been misrepresented, misinterpreted or deliberately suppressed to serve the purpose of the ruler. The author has tried to present the occurrences in Bengal during the Mughal period from their correct perspective, through extensive research and cross-studies of many historians, both Indian and foreign, cross-vetting the truth and actuality.
The dust is about to settle down on medieval India. The Mughal enterprise is being firmly set on its foundations by Akbar the great. Though starting out ruthlessly to conquer all of Hindustan, he mellows down to offer the olive branch to those who would become servants of Babur's dynasty. Rajput king, Maharana Prathap Singh of Mewar decides to look the Mughals in the eye and take the bull by the horns. The die is cast. As the conquering juggernaut rolls, will the Rajput king be able to stem the tide against an all consuming power that threatens to swallow the entirety of the undivided Hind ?
