The prince who beat the empire : how an Indian ruler took on the might of the East India Company
Mir, Moin2018
Books, Manuscripts
The ships of the East India Company first docked at India's shores in Surat in the early 17th century. In time, through astute politics and military power, the Company became masters of this great port. But the Company came not with the intention of building Indian maritime trade, but with the single-minded goal of destroying its trading prowess. This left the infant granddaughters of the last Nawab on the brink of destitution. But in an unprecedented counter-attack, the father of the two girls stood to defy the Empire and expose its corruption overseas to the British at home. This is the moving story of the rebel prince who beat the world's most powerful corporation.
