    Rani Padmini the Heroine of Chittor

    This book could not have been better timed. With so much controversy surrounding the historical facts around Rani Padmavati of Mewar, this is a well researched effort on the part of the author.

    The characterisation fell shallow for a novel, as this is a fictional account there is possible scope for improving the character sketch and giving some more details. Like the life of Rajput kings, how Ranivasa was carried out in those days, any rules and regulations, the administration in the kingdom, the day to day activities, a bit more on the estranged relation of both the queens and the possible reasons for it (not just sharing a pati!). Although some of the reasons have been outlined in the story, they were just confined to a one liner or a para or hardly to a page.
