ADCK-E-37-The Siege of Ranthambor

THE SIEGE OF RANTHAMBOR

The history of India under Muslim rule is a period of turmoil and strife, alternated by war and peace, and highlighting passions such as love and friendship, hatred and cruelty, honour and prestige, deceit and suspicion. It therefore enabled the great poets who lived during that time to take up historical themes as their subjects of composition in prose and poetry. These poets enjoyed the patronage of the Sultans and wrote about the political events and social conditions that existed at the time. Their works threw a great deal of light on contemporary history. At the same time there was no special distinction between fact and fiction. Nevertheless, such literary works have given to posterity some fascinating stories set in a historical backdrop, with historical characters of the period.
The story herein is from those colourful pages of quasi-historical writings, picked out and adapted to be of special interest to the young reader, expressing a friendship that was more binding than death and honour brighter than sharpened steel.
