شرر کے سفرنامے

Abdul Halim Sharar

Four travel pieces by Abdul Halim Sharar (1860-1926) of Lucknow, from his magazine Dilgudaz. On a journey between India and England in the 1890s he lands at Brindisi among tobacco beggars, marvels at the marble cathedral of Milan, rides the St Gotthard railway through the snows of the Alps, and spends six hours at Gibraltar, Tariq's Mountain, where the memory of Muslim Spain meets the sight of its Muslims sweeping the streets. Twenty years later he visits the small Mahdavi Muslim state of Palanpur in Gujarat, tells its history from the Tughluqs to the Raj, and describes the aged Nawab's court, the Eid procession and a dinner served in brass thalis.
