THE FORTS OF BUNDELKHAND (HB)

A kaleidoscope of history,
culture and lore, this book journeys through the bastions and ramparts of
Bundelkhand’s citadels, bringing alive events that continue to resonate
through thought, letter and song. The images of Lakshmi Bai, riding out of
her citadel at Jhansi to fight the British, Kalinjar Fort’s defiance of
Mahmud of Ghazni and Sultan Sher Shah Suri, the loftiness of Datia, Orchha
and Deogarh, have become part of the country’s heritage. Time and the
elements have taken their toll on the magnificent forts, but they continue to
awe and inspire, a constant reminder of India’s monumental past.
