Описание: In September 1857, a member of a religious sect killed himself on hearing the news that the object of his devout observance, Nikal Seyn, had died. Nikal Seyn was, in fact, John Nicholson, the leader of the British assault that recovered Delhi at the turning-point of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. What was it about Nicholson that prompted such devotion, not just from his religious followers, but from the general public? And why is he no longer considered a hero? The man called 'The Lion of the Punjab' by his contemporaries and compared to General Wolfe of Quebec, and even to Napoleon, has in recent times been dubbed 'an imperial psychopath' and 'a homosexual bully'. Yet his was a remarkable tale of a life of adventure lived on the very edge of the British Empire; of a man who was as courageous as he was ruthless, as loyal to his friends as he was merciless to those who crossed him. But it is also the story of how modern attitudes to race and Empire have changed in the years since he died.Previously unpublished material, including the diaries of contemporaries and personal letters, helps build a new perspective on Nicholson's personality. The book considers his sexuality and ambivalent attitude towards religion. It traces his murderous thoughts towards the Chief Commissioner of the Punjab, John Lawrence, and reveals that, remarkably, the Nikal Seyni cult continued into the 21st century. This is the first book-length biography of Nicholson for over 70 years. A new account of the Irish soldier who became an Indian God, an examination of the cult of a dark hero, is long overdue.

The contents of the volumes include the following: Volume 1: (Medina) includes the pilgrimage prayers devoted to the Noble Prophet (SAW), Fatimat al-Zahra (SA), the Imams (AS) and saints buried at the Baqi Cemetery, and the martyrs of the Uhud Battle; Volume 2: the prayers devoted to the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (AS; Najaf) and those said at the Mosque of Kufa; Volume 3: those devoted to Imam al-Husayn (AS) and Hadrat Abu al-Fadl alAbbas (AS) and other martyrs buried in Karbala; Volume 4: those devoted to the Kazimayn (ie: Imam Musa (AS) and Imam Muhammad Taqi (AS), and the Askariyan, ie: Imam Ali al-Naqi (AS) and Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS), and those of Imam al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam (AS; Samarra and Kazimayn); Volume 5: those devoted to Imam al-Rida (AS; Mashhad); Volume 6: Ziyarat al-Jamia (ie: general prayers and also those devoted to the descendants of the Imams (eg: Hadrat Masuma (AS)).

Описание:
"Mafia" has become an indigenous South Asian term. Like Italian mobsters, the South Asian "gangster politicians" are known for inflicting brutal violence while simultaneously upholding vigilante justice--inspiring fear and fantasy. But the term also refers to the diffuse spheres of crime, business, and politics operating within a shadow world that is popularly referred to as the rule of the mafia, or "Mafia Raj."
Through intimate stories of the lives of powerful and aspiring bosses in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, this book illustrates their personal struggles for sovereignty as they climb the ladder of success. Ethnographically tracing the particularities of the South Asian case, the authors theorize what they call "the art of bossing," providing nuanced ideas about crime, corruption, and the lure of the strongman across the world.
