Dennis Kincaid

Dennis Kincaid was a British civil servant and novelist who served in India during the early 20th century.

He wrote "Shivaji" after arriving in India around 1928, though the book was published posthumously in 1937.

Kincaid's father, Charles Allen Kincaid, was also a historian known for co-authoring "History of the Maratha People." Unlike his father, Dennis Kincaid is primarily remembered for his non-fiction works, particularly "Shivaji." His background as a novelist is evident in the book's engaging narrative style.

Kincaid's perspective as an Englishman writing about an Indian national hero during the colonial era adds a unique dimension to his work on Shivaji.
