A BIBLIOPHILE'S BLOG
This time around I have decided to start this feature in India, where the legend that is Sachin Tendulkar recently celebrated his half century. Despite retiring all but a decade ago I suspect he probably remains the most popular cricketer on the planet, and I was slightly surprised not to see his fiftieth birthday marked by more books than it was. As it is amongst a few ebooks all I can spot is Gulu Ezekiel’s revised and updated biography.
In the past, as well as Tendulkar, modern icons MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly have also been subjects of books by Gulu. I have long nagged him to write a biography of a cricketer from India’s past and am delighted to be able to say that one is now in the offing and well advanced. The subject is not the one I have usually sought to persuade him to concentrate on, Dattu Phadkar, but hopefully a successful project on the man I am not yet allowed to name will persuade him Phadkar should be next. Inverting that particular situation I can also advise that a biography of Abbas Ali Baig is being written, but this time whilst I can confirm the subject I am unable to divulge the name of the author.

Although Abbas would preside over the apex of Safavid Iran's military, political and economic power, he came to the throne during a troubled time for the country. Under the ineffective rule of his father, the country was riven with discord between the different factions of the Qizilbash army, who killed Abbas' mother and elder brother. Meanwhile, Iran's main enemies, its arch-rival the Ottoman Empire and the Uzbeks, exploited this political chaos to seize territory for themselves. In , one of the Qizilbash leaders, Murshid Quli Khan, overthrew Shah Mohammed in a coup and placed the year-old Abbas on the throne. However, Abbas soon seized power for himself. Under his leadership, Iran developed the ghilman system where thousands of Circassian, Georgian, and Armenian slave-soldiers joined the civil administration and the military Abbas the Great
