I'm delighted to say that my first book, The Indian Caliphate, is published today. It uncovers how the exiled last Ottoman Caliph, a painter and musician, launched a plan to revive the Caliphate in India - with the help of a billionaire prince, the world's richest man:

Farage may not know this, but Britain self-identified a hundred years ago as the "greatest Muslim power" in the world. This was a claim strongly asserted by statesmen like Sir Winston Churchill, but also by prominent Muslim subjects of the Empire including Sir Muhammad Iqbal.

What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

@caveheraa @sifarchand Princely states not part of 'British India' proper. The point about Persian flourishing in the princely states (especially Hyderabad) is well-made though

“Under British rule in the subcontinent, the use of Persian for official purposes was banned…Yet it was still used by some of India’s greatest poets well into the 20th century, so that Iqbal – beloved by Khamenei – composed over half of his poetry in Persian.”

Amid renewed interest in historical ties between Iran and South Asia, I've written about the lost world of what Shahab Ahmed called the "Balkans-to-Bengal complex". Its rich cultural legacy has largely been forgotten: middleeasteye.net/discover/balka…

@Imran_posts My parents - who grew up in Bihar - had Farsi classes at school. For language classes the Muslim students took Urdu and Farsi and the Hindu students took Hindi andSanskrit, and the generation before that the Hindus would study Farsi as well. They don’t do this anymore

My book reviewed in the Wall Street Journal: "An exceptional feat of investigative research... [Depicts] the historical moment when the modern overpowered the ancient—a world, now lost, of floridly costumed courtiers, fabled princes, exotic vices and perfumed palaces"
