 In 1992 Professor K K Aziz published a compendium on Muslim and non-Muslim political, religious and cultural parties, organizations and movements which flourished in India between 1850 and 1947 under the title of “Public Life in Muslim India” (Vanguard Books, Lahore). The present Handbook now makes available to historians and research scholars a wealth of additional information on the same subject.

He notes the Salutes and Warrants of procedure of the rulers of the native states and he lists all the Commissions and Committees of Inquiry during this period.

In Volume Two, Professor Aziz lists all the White Papers, political and constitutional developments, elections, legislators, saints and shrines of Muslim India. He details the organs of the press and the share of various religious groups in public life and services. A useful glossary of words and phrases is added at the end of this 760 page Handbook.
