Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three stories in this collection are united by a common theme of chivalry and sacrifice. It was said that Abanindranath Tagore used his pen as an artist uses a brush – to colour old tales and bring them to vivid life. The stories are filled with unforgettable vignettes of heated desert sands and filigreed balconies clinging to sheer mountain walls. Ancient battles and family sagas come to life and it is easy to see how these stories inspired many young freedom fighters to dare and dream of overthrowing their colonial masters. Whether today’s reader seeks inspiration or is simply entertained by these tales of Rajput valor, they are a magical window to the richness of Indian literature.
