Impressive and educating. Mesrovb Jacob Seth did an meticulous work on the theme. It’s a long read, but still is worth the time spared.

Mirza Zul-Qarnain, from the Mogul Akbar’s court, Shah Nazar Khan, the Armenian Krupp of India, and ask Pakistanis now about “Zamzamah” and they will tell you what is it!
Paul Chater, Colonel Jacob Petrus, Ms Hripsimah Leembruggen, Khoja Israel Khojah Gregory (popularly known as Gurgin Khan), Khojah Phanoos Kalandar of Dhaka, his nephew Khojah Israel Sarhand, Khojah Wajid (who played the most significant role in the commercial economy and political life of Bengal in the forties and fifties of the eighteenth century), Khoajah Petruse Aratoon and many many more.

A very helpful book on a matter that is not widely known.

Structured in an old-fashioned way (not surprising, given when the book was originally published!).

Lots of most interesting information.
