Fall of the Mughal Empire v2.c27.s29.10

v2.c27.s29.10

Gross misrepresentation of the facts of the battle was afterwards made by Shujā-ud-daulah's flatterers to glorify their patron, in Gulistāni's Mujmil-ut-tawārikh (ed. by Oskar Mann, Leiden, 1896), Mustajab Khan's Gulistan-i-Rahmat and Imam-ud-din Husaini's Tārikh-i-Husain Shāhi (wr. 1798.) The last-named work, amidst much confusion of dates and events and incorrect statement, supplies many useful correct details, and sometimes agrees remarkably with Nur-ud-din in points not given by any other author.
