This book is a blend of history and fiction for a readable personified presentation of the Hindu mindset which appeared in the later half of the nineteenth century, after the demise of the Mughal Empire and the end of the Muslim rule in India. It is a saga in a racy narrative of the life and time of a man who was extraordinarily intelligent, an intrepid fighter for his convictions, a master strategist and a fearless nationalist personifying the Hindu psyche of the post-Mughal renaissance period seeking inspiration from Chanakya's Takshashila.
