From Plassey to Pakistan can be an extraordinary research of 300 years of Indian and Pakistani background from the perspective of the Nawab Nazims, the powerful rulers of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. While providing an insider’s look at of the political occasions which were instrumental in shaping India and Pakistan, this publication paints an image of the fortunes of a family group captured in the tides of background. Then tells the tale of his father’s rise to power and the armed service coup that toppled his authorities, leading to his exile. As the last immediate descendent of the Bengal Nawabs and the just surviving child of Iskander Mirza, Pakistan’s first President, writer Humayun Mirza explores the occasions resulting in the British acquisition of the Indian subcontinent, India’s independence, and Pakistan’s secession to become separate nation state.
