Iskandar Ali Mirza is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Iskandar Ali Mirza as Pakistani politician, statesman and military general (1899–1969).
Iskandar Ali Mirza was born at Murshidabad in 1899. His recorded nationality is British Raj. He was educated at Elphinstone College and University of Mumbai.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
The record gives his occupations as politician.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His work was formally recognised with the Officer of the Order of the British Empire, Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire and King George VI Coronation Medal.
Working from British Raj shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Iskandar Ali Mirza died in 1969 at the age of 70. The work outlived the arguments around it.
