Literary 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.
