About the Book
Hammir of Ranthambor was the bravest of all brave. He was ambitious, resolute, indomitable, unflinching-undaunted, chivalrous, and lionhearted and a man of words which he kept till last, and even today he is well known for that.

Foreword
I have been emotionally attached to the fort of Ranthambhor. The late Maharaja and I used too visit Sawai Madhopur on our shooting excursions and camp there for few days. We had visitors from all over the world. Among those who visited were Queen Elizabeth, Duke of Edinburgh, Lord and Lady Mountbatten and many other friends. The towering personality of the fort of Ranthambhor used to hover on the sanctuary. It was then that I visited the fort and was impressed by the magnificence of it and the stories of brave Hammir how he defended the fort against Alluddin Khalji and gave up his life. Since then I have always cherished the thought that History and the tales of bravery and diplomacy attached to the forts of Rajasthan must be documented.

When Ranbir Sinh requested me to write he Foreword to his book on the fort of Ranthambhor I was very happy, as I saw my cherished desire being fulfilled and I gladly accepted his request.

I read the manuscript and I am glad that Ranbir Sinh has done a good work in documenting the History of the fort Ranthambhor, from the earliest period to the time it came under that Jaipur State. He has authoritatively unfolded many interesting and important incidents hitherto unknown, which lend dignity and glory to the fort.

I am sure that the book will be useful to the students of History, lovers of cultural heritage, and also to the tourists, foreign and domestic, who will have the chance to know about the glorious past of Ranthambhor.
