1910 Hemu
1910:
Hemu, who was first Adil Shah Suri's general and then the Sultan of
Bengal's, was defeated and killed in the Second Battle of Panipat, in
1556 re-imagined in this 1910s bazaar-art poster in very Mughal courtly
style, and glorified in Hindi, Persian (from the Akbar-namah), and
English, as "the last Hindu emperor of Hindustan", with his genius
certified by the Imperial Gazetteer.
