His friends found him to be imbued with a traditional Lucknow culture, the very embodiment of courtesy and good manners, suave, urbane and highly sophisticated. To him personal ties mattered a great deal which he cultivated irrespective of an individuals politics or religion. This book is a glowing tribute to the memory of Professor Saiyid Nurul Hasan by his colleagues, students, relatives and friends and also from a grateful History Department of Aligarh Muslim University which under his stewardship had been elevated to the status of a National Centre of Advanced Study in Medieval History.
