Zaka Ullah of Delhi

Set against the backdrop of the mutiny of 1857, C.F. Andrews draws upon the story of Zaka Ullah's life to briefly trace the social and literary history of Delhi from the decline of the Mughal Empire in the eighteenth century to the emerging nationalist movement in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Two new introductions written especially for this volume place the book, its subject, and its author in a socio-historical context.
