Women Who Ruled India
https://amzn.in/d/49BIytBhttps://amzn.in/d/3k2GUz1
After I started my new job and with moving, it took a while to get back to reading. After a month have resumed reading regularly. Saw this in our bookshelf that Satya had newly organized. The book is little different than the genres I usually read and enjoy. But liked reading this anyway. Book as the name suggest is about women rulers from Indian history. Couple of things that struck me, how turbulent Indian history is, women can also be cruel, some of the famous women emperors that we might have heard about ruled for a very short while. I specially enjoyed the chapters about Queens of Attingal, Ahilya Bai Holkar and Nur Jahan. Overall it was nice to read about Indian history through the tales of women rulers.

Around halfway through the book, lovers split. The reason for splitting is too cliched and reminded me of our Saas-Bahu dramas. I almost thought of quitting and not reading further but read on to complete the book 😅. The book does pick up a little later.
