The Royal Rajputs: Strange Tales and Stranger Truths by Manoshi Bhattacharya

Who gathered the riches of Amber? When did Maharana Sanga loses his eye? Where was Mira Bai’s home?For centuries, the genealogical memory of the Rajputs had been locked away by the Bhats, while the ballads sung by bards offered only a tantalising glimpse into the gallantry, honour and passion of the great dynasties of Rajasthan. The Royal Rajputs: Tales and Stranger Truths explores the scandals and intrigues, the power and ambition, the battles and the forts and the customs and traditions of the Rajputs and will appeal to all those who revel in a story well told.
