About the Book:
"Akhtarnama" by Shamim Ahmed is a grand life-centered historical novel based on the life of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the last ruler of Awadh. His life unfolds like an epic—rich with art, culture, politics, and personal upheavals. Contrary to popular perception, he was not merely a pleasure-loving king but also a capable and secular administrator. However, his kingdom was taken away by the British through political conspiracy, forcing him into exile in Metiabruz, Kolkata, where he recreated a miniature version of Lucknow.
A patron of arts, Wajid Ali Shah was a prolific creator—composing masnavis, ghazals, marsiyas, and thumris, contributing significantly to classical music and dance, especially Kathak. Despite personal tragedies and political loss, he remained resilient throughout his life. The novel captures his multifaceted personality and also reflects how his presence influenced 19th-century Bengali society. Rich in historical detail and narrative depth, this large-scale novel offers a vivid portrayal of a remarkable life.
