Can we participate ? A Tryst with ' History ' .

A casual social evening get-together brings up the subject 

A few months ago, during a conversation with 81 year old C.M. Abdul Raoof Khan, an M.A. in Urdu at the University of Mysore, we happened to casually discuss history. The conversation also happened to include the fine language of Urdu.  He is very passionate about languages Urdu and Farsi (Persian) and it is interesting to note that he acquired his M.A degree in at the mature age of 61.

Mahmud Khan of Bangalore, who was a historian and researcher. This non-fiction book is based on the life of Tippu Sultan, the legendary ruler.
