Summary: Nizam-e-Sikka revolves around Nizam, a humble water carrier (saqqa) who, through a strange twist of fate, briefly becomes the King of Delhi during Humayun’s reign. The story is both satirical and philosophical, exploring how power transforms a common man — his values, behavior, and perception of self. Mumtaz Mufti uses this historical anecdote as a metaphor for human nature, exposing the fragility of morality and the illusion of grandeur when ordinary people are suddenly given power. The book subtly comments on the political and moral decay of society, showing how authority can corrupt even the simplest souls.
