Dennis Kincaid

Dennis Kincaid (16 October 1905 – 10 June 1937) was a civil servant in British India, a novelist and the writer of Shivaji: The Grand Rebel, a widely respected account of the life of the sixteenth century self-made Emperor, and British social life in India, 1608-1937, a classic account of the British in colonial India. Quotes Most English people have heard the name of the Mughals. They have believed that the Mughal Empire was the predecessor to British rule in India. Therefore, they are surprised to learn that in the initial phase of British conquest, the English conquerors did not engage in conflict with any Mughal, whereas their struggle with the Marathas continued incessantly. Many people must be curious about who these Marathas were, who really destroyed the Mughal Empire, who fought with the English and the French to gain control over India, who once again revolted in 1857 and clashed arms with the British rule, and among whom emerged revolutionary leaders as politically astute as Nana Sahib and as brave as the Rani of Jhansi. quoted in External links Category:1905 births Category:1937 deaths Category:Historians from the United Kingdom Category:University of Oxford alumni Category:Civil servants from the United Kingdom Category:Novelists from the United Kingdom
