Scope and Contents

This is an Urdu version of the original Persian work, which is a brief account of the rulers of A‘ẓamgaṛh by Sayyid Amīr ‘Alī Raz̤vī, who mentions several nobles of Niẓāmābād, all of whom had attained long ages, as the authority for this work. The history begins from the adventures of Abhman-Singh, son of Chandar-Sen-Rāi, of the tribe of Gūtam, who received the title of Nādir-Dawlat-Khān from the Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542-1605 C.E.), and ends with the transfer of the district to the British in the Faṣlī calendar year 1205 (1801 C.E.), by the Nawwāb Wazīr Sa‘ādat ‘Alī Khān of Awadh. At the end a genealogical tree of the rulers is given. The author is himself the translator.
