About the Book

Do you know the easiest way to time travel? Reading historical fiction! It can transport you to another time and place, hobnob with characters, real and imagined, and learn from their actions.

Read about the immense courage of women who were born much before their time—the legend who was India’s first suicide bomber; the queens who proved their bravery in the battlefield as well as the royal court; the ordinary young women who defied society’s patriarchal norms with their extraordinary valour and grit. Experience the pain of Partition; the deceptions and intrigue that went into saving the Singhasan Battisi, the clever trick that made a whole village disappear and memoirs of the only Indian who lived with an Andamanese tribe and survived to tell the tale.
