Description
This book is a collection of biographies of men who lived remarkable lives in the India of the nineteenth century. As we progress through the pages, many forgotten names, places and incidents are called to mind. Indeed, in some cases, the reader may be pleasantly (or otherwise) surprised at happenings that seem to echo incidents of the recent past.
