audiobook The Trafalgar Captains: Their Lives and Memorials by Colin White in History

Description

This book has resulted from the author's response to what she believed to be an assault; about ten years ago; on her Muslim cultural identity. It is important to understand at the very outset that this book cannot encompass the vast diversity of India; or Pakistan; or Bangladesh. India is the counry where Buddhism; Jainism and Sikhism were born.To India fled the Zoroastrians from Persia (Iran) to escape persecution after the advent of Islam in that country. Christians have also lived in India from about 50 AD; a time which precedes the coming of Jesuit priests to Emperor Akbar's court and of Christian missionaries in the wake of the East India Company and the British Empire in India. This book is more concerned with the shared culture of Hindus; who were in India before the Muslims came there; first as traders and later as invaders; and the Muslims who stayed and became a part of India.
