SIGNED EDITION: Rani Durgawati: The Forgotten Life of a Warrior Queen by Nandini Sengupta

Gond Rani Veerangana Durgawati, queen of the tribal kingdom of Garha Mandla, ruled more than 450 years ago and died fighting for her dharma. A survivor who was not afraid to stand up for her rights, she was a warrior smart enough to use terrain to counter much larger manpower and artillery strength, a devoted mother and a model monarch who looked after her people till her last breath—the fact that she lived in blood-soaked medieval India, makes her story even more remarkable.
