About The Book

This is an extraordinary tale of a seemingly ordinary nautch girl who ruled over the province of Sardhana for almost fifty-eight years. She cast a spell on the world with her beauty, intelligence, valour and diplomacy. This biographical account accompanies the matriarch in her transformative journey from a girl named Farzana to Begum Samru. Her story has its fair share of war, politics and diplomacy alongside love, betrayal, conspiracies and ruthlessness.

Preface

For some people, history is a dull and monotonous subject, one that numbs their minds and lulls them to sleep. For them, reading about historical events per se is as tedious as sneezing while keeping one's eyes open. Writing about it is well... an entirely different story. According to such people, history simply weaves some disputes, conspiratorial behaviour, wars and archaic customs that have no substantial significance in the modern era. There are so many preconceptions regarding historical events, that somewhere along the line, facts are left behind.
