Rani Karnavati of Garhwal defied Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, devastating and humiliating his formidable army as no other monarch did
Amongst the many flaws in the teaching and writing of Indian history is the fact that we have been obsessed with the exploits of the invaders rather than the deeds of the brave defenders. This is a bit curious, unique and sad, because in most countries one finds that the defenders have been glorified even if they were defeated in war. The problem gets compounded in India by the fact that we tend to ignore the history of the regions far away from Delhi or the big cities.

Today we Hindus are in dire need of Kshatriya (Warrior) pride which the leaders of today, save a few noteworthy exceptions, shamefully lack

The daring exploits of this proud Maratha warrior king are extra-ordinary.
