Rulers of India Madhava Rao Sindhia and the Hindu Reconquest of India

About The Book: This book delves into the story of Madhava Rao Sindhia and the Hindu Reconquest of India. It revolves around an extraordinary Indian leader who thrived amidst formidable challenges. From before the fall of Delhi to Nadir Shah to a decade before Lord Lake's rule, he navigated the transition from anarchy to order through his efforts. Amidst the chaos of war, he strived to restore and rejuvenate society. While concise, contextual digressions are essential. His life is intertwined with the Mughal Court and Maratha camp, highlighting the impact of his actions. It's vital to envision the Empire's state and his role. Significantly, the book explores Sindhia's origins and his connection to a unique Southern Indian community. Despite its focus, the narrative intricately weaves a tapestry of the protagonist's historical involvement. The reference to these satrapies prompts a comparison with the Mughal Empire of India. Despite its proximity in time, it shares resemblances with ancient empires such as Babylon and Persia. Notably, vast power disparities, lavish thrones, and shifting rulers define it. Dynasties ascended and declined, despotism decayed. Revolutions dissolved and reconstituted the Empire, yet luxury and opulence endured, an autocrat adorned in finery amidst his subjects' struggles.
