History has always served as the victor's handmaiden. According to Chinua Achebe, "the narrative of the hunt will always exalt the hunter until the lions have their own storytellers!" This book highlights the contribution of the warriors who not only donned armour and charged into combat but also maintained the torch of hope in the face of adversity by examining the lives, times, and works of fifteen long-forgotten and largely ignored unsung heroes and heroines from our history. The book provides a glimpse into the stories of bravery and triumph that India, as a nation and civilization, witnessed throughout its long and turbulent past by telling the narratives of a few men and women who bravely fought against invaders for their rights, faith, and freedom.
