Book Overview

Bhopal Affairs: A Defense is a book written by Syed Seddique Hossein and originally published in 1888. The book is a defense of the actions of the Nawab of Bhopal, Sikander Begum, during the Bhopal State controversy of the late 19th century. The controversy centered around the succession of the Bhopal State throne and the British government's involvement in the matter. Hossein argues that the Nawab acted appropriately and in accordance with Islamic law in her decisions regarding the succession. He also defends her decision to seek British assistance in the matter, stating that it was necessary to prevent civil war and maintain stability in the region. The book provides insight into the political and cultural context of Bhopal State during the late 19th century, as well as the complex relationships between Indian rulers and the British government. It also sheds light on the role of Islam in governance and decision-making in the region.
