L.K. Advani had verbally attacked him for allegedly tarnishing the secular credentials of the Indian army and personally held him responsible for the Sachar Committee's request for a community wide census in India.[3][2] In the 1980s he worked at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and from there he moved back to the US and became a staff member of MIT in Boston.{{Citation needed|date= June 2018}} Later in 1983, he joined the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT and worked there as a librarian until his death in a train accident in the same city.[1][2] ScholarHis first scholarly work was The British Residents at the Court of the Nizams of Hyderabad published in 1981.{{Citation needed|date= June 2018}} Since then he wrote and edited more than 25 books.{{Citation needed|date= June 2018}} The best known is Hyderabad after the fall (book)|Hyderabad: After the Fall published in 1990.

He was diabetic, and it seems his sugar level had reached abnormal levels and he was hit by a train[8] in Boston, United States[9] His funeral prayers were held at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Roxbury.[7] He left his wife Nigar Khalidi and his daughter Aliya.[8] See also
