He spent huge sums of money to build mosques. He was excited to his subjects, whatever religion they pursued. He introduced many rebuilds. He also built up a broad personal library. The English looked upon Tipu Sultan as their main enemy, like his father, Tipu Sultan had fought against them the all of his life. The English won the compassion of Nizam of Hyderabad and Merhatas against Tipu Sultan. They also bought deserters like Mir Sadiq. All these efforts went against Tipu Sultan, still he never lost heart. In 1799, the English started a final trial of strength. They were supported by a number of Indian princes. Tipu Sultan deteriorates a few defeats and was pushed back into Seranga Patem. He preached to his army that Jehad is the real Islam. He had immense belief in God and believed that a man could die only once. He also considered that: "One day life of a lion was better than a hundred years' life of a Jackal". He chose to fight till last moments of life. Thus the life of a great son of Islam finished. But he lives forever as a martyr in the minds and hearts of the Muslims.

The Penobscot (Panawahpskek) are a sovereign people indigenous to what is now Maritime Canada and the northeastern United States, particularly Maine. They were and are significant participants in the historical and present Wabanaki Confederacy along with the Passamaquoddy, Maliseet and Mi'kmaq nations.
The discovery and conquest of American Indians inspired efforts to develop an ideology that could justify why they needed to enslave the Indians. The Spanish monarch wanted an ideal empire. "A universal empire, of which all their subjects were but servants. Charles V remained for them the dominus mundi, the legitimate and God-ordained lord of the world." (Weckmann, The Transit of Civilization, 23) Gold and religious conversion was the two most important inspirations for conquistadors in conquering America. Father Bartolome De Las Casas was a Dominican priest who came to the New World to convert the Indians to become Christians. He spent forty years on Hispanolia and nearby islands, and saw how the Spaniards brutally treated the Indians and sympathized with them. The Devastation of the Indies was an actual eyewitness account of the genocide by Las Casas, and his group of Dominican friars in which he demonizes the Spanish colonists and praises the Indians. Father Las Casas returned to Seville, where he published his book that caused an on going debate on whether the suppression of the Indians corrupted the Spaniards' values. What Las Casas was trying to achieve was the notion of human rights, that human beings are free and cogent by nature without the interference of others.
The Root of It: Deconstructing Creole Identity in Crossing the Mangrove. “I like to repeat that I write neither in French nor in Creole. I write in Maryse Conde,”1 (“Liaison dangereuse,” 2007) is a statement that could not be less accurate for the Guadeloupean writer. Writing in French is especially problematic for post-colonialist Francophone authors; using the language of the colonizer while attempting to dismantle cultural and linguistic hierarchy seems to be an act of futility. To be sure, Conde, the author of Crossing the Mangrove, apparently writes in the French language, but she capably deconstructs the notion that a language must be necessarily tied to the culture and history it traditionally represents.
De Las Casas, however, is not as dishonest in his accounts of the Americas and how “well” the Europeans were spreading their nation. “The Very Brief Relation of the Devastation of Indies,” was strictly written to inform the Spanish Royal Court of the wrongs their explorers were committing against the Natives. The voyagers were given the task to convert the Natives to Christianity and Spanish culture, but instead were on a major assassination bender for gold (in which only a small percentage of the gold was given to the Spanish Royalty). Missionaries like De Las Casas wanted to bring justice to new domain.
250 years later, after the Battle of Plassey and after the dwindling of the Mughal empire, we see a young Indian-English boy experience a similarly violence-sanctioning Islam, this time on the receiving end.
The Suleymaniye mosque was truly a masterpiece during the time it was built in the mid 1500s. Today, it still never fails to captivate its audience through the complexity of its design and the intellectual analysis of its significance. The mosque was actually said to be as magnificent as the Seven Wonders of the World according to two European travelers, Freynes Moryson and John Sanderson, soon after its completion (Nelipogulu 221). The mosque is definitely symbolic in the city of Istanbul, sitting a top the highest hill, in that it represents central power and strength of the Turkish Empire (see Image 1) (Yayinlari 30). As we take a closer look at the Suleymaniye we see many aspects of religion through its sensual and visual experience. We also find a great deal of complexity, from the contradictory aspects Sinan applied to the mosque, throughout a more in depth intellectual analysis.
During this time four of Bayezid’s sons, Süleyman Çelebi, İsa Çelebi, Mehmed Çelebi, and Musa Çelebi, battled for rule of the empire. In the end after the death of the others, Mehmed was victor and the new sultan. After the start of restoration of the empire and Mehmed's death in 1421, his son Murad II became sultan of the Ottoman empire. Murad is left with the restoration of his crumbling empire and proves to handle it well, expanding the empire during his
In the 16th century, there were three Islamic powers: Ottoman Empire, Central Asian Empire, and Mughal Empire. All three vanished from the face of the earth leaving behind multitude of Muslim aspirations longing for the glories of the past. The Ottoman Empire disintegrated in 1922, the Central Asian Empire was taken over by the Russian Empire, and the Mughal Empire’s last gasp was in 1857 when their rebellion was defeated by the British.
A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies is written with the task of advocating to the King of Spain, about the massacres that resulted in the extensive reduction of indigenous peoples of the New World. The logic behind Spanish expeditions was primarily for the commencement of the mass conversion of indigenous peoples to the Christian faith, essentially, to save them from eternal damnation. However, Spaniards were blinded by greed, in the race to find gold, that their desire for power and wealth outweighed their concern for religious obligations. Consequently, this resulted in the genocide of innocent individuals, with horrible atrocities committed against them, that substantially cleared entire kingdoms of indigenous peoples. According
Imperialism in India British imperialism in India had many positive and negative effects on both the mother country, Britain and the colony, India. Many people would argue which effects were more prominent in these countries, and some would agree that they were equal. But in both cases, there were actually both. In India, the British colonization had more positive effects than negative. For instance, when the British colonized India they built 40,000 miles of railroad and 70,000 miles of paved roadway.
Although his efforts were cut short, Selim was seen as a quintessential Sultan. He had conquered Persia, the Levant, and the Hejaz in a span of 9 years. On the day of his death, the Ottoman Empire was about 1 billion acres wide, he had tripled it in size in just 9 years. Selim’s accomplishments are what allowed Suleiman to lead the Ottoman Empire to it’s peak. Today, a bridge in Istanbul is being built in his honor. Selim I is seen as a great Sultan, whose reign was cut short.

When in 1978 Edward W. Said published his book Orientalism, it presented a turning point in post-colonial criticism. He introduced the term Orientalism, and talked about 2 of its aspects: the way the West sees the Orient and the way the West controls the Orient. Said gave three definitions of Orientalism, and it is through these definitions that I will try to demonstrate how A Passage to India by E. M. Forster is an Orientalist text. First, Said defined Orientalism as an academic discipline, which flourished in 18th and 19th century.
