Non-Fiction
by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
From kennel keeper's daughter to Maharaja Ranjit Singh's beloved queen and regent, Jindan Kaur's story is one of power, cunning, and colonial resistance. Divakaruni reclaims a nearly erased figure from Sikh history, tracing her battles against British annexation and the patriarchal forces that sought to silence her. A fierce historical portrait of female sovereignty under siege.
