Dunya Aurat Ki Nazar Mein

Dunya Aurat Ki Nazar Mein is a remarkable Urdu travelogue written in 1909 by Begum Nawab Sarbuland Jung, chronicling her journey from Hyderabad through the Middle East and Europe.

Edited by: Professor Daniel Majchrowicz

This newly edited Urdu edition presents a fully annotated and carefully corrected version of Begum Sarbuland Jung’s original manuscript. It enriches the reader’s experience with a wealth of supplementary materials unavailable in the English translation — including a detailed fold-out family tree tracing six generations from her grandchildren to the Mughal emperors, two companion books written by her husband, Hamidullah Khan, newly discovered images, and reproductions of her handwritten poems.

This edition not only restores a vital piece of early 20th-century Muslim women’s travel writing but also offers an intimate glimpse into a world seen through the eyes of a pioneering woman traveler from Hyderabad.
