Book Description

About the Book This book Flash-lights of India: Past & Present is a compelling collection of essays that offers vivid snapshots of India's diverse and rich heritage. Written by a keen observer, the book explores various facets of Indian life, history, and culture through engaging anecdotes and reflections. Niblett's observations, drawn from his experiences in India, provide a unique perspective on the country's past and its evolving present, making it a valuable read for those interested in Indian history and culture.

About the Author Captain L. H. Niblett (1862-1948) was a British author known for his insightful writings on India. His book, Flash-lights of India, provides vivid accounts and reflections on Indian culture and history. Niblett's observations, based on his experiences, offer a unique perspective on India's past and present.

Preface My object in writing this little book is two-fold. Firstly I desire to place on record something of old-time India at a stage of the country's progress when the past is slipping by with enormous rapidity; secondly to enlighten people generally, and the Englishman specially, on certain phases of Indian life and customs which they largely fail to understand and, therefore, to appreciate. It is obvious that many writers before me, with far abler pens, have touched on these subjects; but I feel I must pay my own humble tribute to a country which my family has served for three generations before me, which I have known from my earliest childhood and which has been very kind to me throughout. My thanks are due to the Nawabs of Shamshabad for all the help and encouragement they have given me in writing the first part of the book, included in the main heading "In Mogul Harem, Tent and Court." I must mention, in particular, my friend, Nawab Syed Nawab who took the greatest interest in supplying me with material for this part of the book. I must also express my thanks to the Editors of The Pioneer and the Weekly Observer for so kindly permitting me to publish the contents of this book in this form, the same having already appeared in their esteemed journals as articles from time to time. For my sentiments, I make no apology: for any short-comings, in other respects, however, I must take shelter behind a very crowded life, teeming with multifarious duties, official and otherwise, which have allowed me only spasmodic intervals to devote to this work.
