It looks down on to the road that winds from Rawal Pindi to Hasan Abdal, the road where once only the Afghan camel-train passed on its way to and from Peshawur, but where now a railway marks the progress of modern India. Severely simple in its exterior, the obelisk is yet one of the most notable monuments to be seen in our great Eastern Empire, for it commemorates a soldier-hero of high fame. On its base is inscribed the name of John Nicholson. ## Chapters - [Chapter 10](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/10/index.md) - [Chapter 6](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/6/index.md) - [Chapter 3](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/3/index.md) - [Chapter 2](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/2/index.md) - [Chapter 8](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/8/index.md) - [Chapter 7](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/7/index.md) - [Chapter 4](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/4/index.md) - [Chapter 9](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/9/index.md) - [Chapter 1](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/1/index.md) - [Chapter 5](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/john-nicholson-the-lion-of-the-punjaub-21985/chapters/5/index.md)
