In 1542 when Akbar was born, his father Humayun - driven out by his enemies and treacherous siblings was living a fugitive's life in Umerkot, Sindh. In search of alliance and support, Humayun further retreated into Afghanistan and Persia. In 1555, he regained the throne of Delhi; and in 1556, died in a freak accident. Thirteen-year-old Akbar ascended the throne, under the regency of Bairam Khan - Humayun's trusted general. Akbar left an ineffaceable mark on the sub-continent's political landscape by consolidating his empire through military quests, pacification, and able administration. Though uneducated, he patronized art, science, literature, and religions like no other king or emperor, before or after him, did. Akbar's reign of nearly five decades brought peace and stability in India. Akbar's tolerance for other religions was appreciable; he abolished jizya - a tax on Hindus, winning their goodwill and loyalty. He founded his own religious cult - Din-e-Ilahi. If Babur is credited with founding the Mughal Empire in India, the credit for its consolidation surely goes to his grandson - Akbar the Great.This book was first published in 1890

Circa 1744: a young Englishman landed at Madras; there he was to work as writer in the service of East India Company. For some years he languished in this uninspiring vocation, until he chanced upon the profession of arms during the siege of Fort St. David in 1748.There everyone, including himself, realized that his calling was the profession of arms. Then there was no looking back for this young man, who took unbelievable risks and displayed sterling qualities that a military leader should possess. He toiled hard in the battlefields of Southern India; registering impressive victories at Kaveripak, Samiaveram, Arcot, and Trichinopaly. His crowning glory came in 1757 at Plassey; where he defeated Nawab Siraj-ud-daula and brought Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa under the sway of East India Company.He foiled the designs of other contenders, the French and Dutch, who were vying hard to secure their interests in the subcontinent. Such was the life and achievement of Lord Robert Clive: a soldier, an administrator and a statesman of unmatched caliber, who despite hailing from an ordinary family background; and lacking in formal military education or training rose to such heights due to his inner strength, conviction and great daring. Clive was a born leader of men.Unfortunately, he was denied due recognition from his countrymen. His foes indulged in a slanderous campaign against him; leading to his untimely and sad demise. This biography not only traces the life and times of its protagonist, but also unravels the sociopolitical upheavals of eighteenth century India in an absorbing manner.This book was first published in 1893

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
