Between 1600–1900, several thousand Indians of different social classes travelled to Britain. Yet compared to the large number of travelogues and memoirs written by Europeans who visited India during this period only a handful of Indian accounts of Britain and Europe have come to light. One of them is by Mahdi Hasan Khan Fath Nawaz Jang, (1852–1904), a Hyderabadi civil servant of Lucknow origin. His fascinating observations of the British and European society are among a mere handful of available Indian representations of Europeans in the nineteenth century.
