About this listen

Fifteen Brave Men and Women of Bharat who Never Succumbed to the Challenges of Invaders But were Lost and Forgotten in the Annals of History. These are the stories of those Bravehearts who Fought to Protect their Rights, Faith and Freedom.

History has always been the handmaiden of the victor. 'Until the lions have their own storytellers,' said Chinua Achebe, 'the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter!' Exploring the lives, times and works of the fifteen long-forgotten and mostly neglected unsung heroes and heroines of our past, this book brings to light the contribution of the warriors who not only donned armour and burst forth into the battlefield but also kept the flame of hope alive under adverse circumstances.

Narrating the tales of valour and success that India, as a nation and civilization, has borne witness to in its long and tumultuous past, the book opens a window to the stories of select men and women who valiantly fought against invaders for their rights, faith and freedom.

Rajarshi Bhagyachandra Jai Singh of Manipur, Lalitaditya Muktapida of Kashmir, Chand Bibi of Ahmednagar, Lachit Barphukan of Assam, Begum Hazrat Mahal of Awadh, Rani Abbakka Chowta of Ullal, Martanda Varma of Travancore, Rani Rudrama Devi of Warangal, Rani Naiki Devi of Gujarat and Banda Singh Bahadur are some of the 'bravehearts' who fought to uphold the tradition and culture of their land.

Pacy and unputdownable, Bravehearts of Bharat chronicles the stories of courage, determination and victory, which largely remained untold and therefore unknown for a long time.

An amazing book by Vikram Sampat, which goes to great length in bringing out the unsung heroes of Bharat history. He has thoroughly researched on the subject and also present the story and heroic achievements of each of the bravehearts. This one single book is a consolidation of the tales of so many bravehearts, and he is a must read for everyone in Bharat, irrespective of their political or religious affiliation

Editors did not do a good job of reviewing this audio book. Too many narration mistakes left in. It's a weird feeling when hear the narrator correcting the mistake mid narration. This felt more of a reference book, better read in physical book form rather than as an audio book. It is impossible to track all new names, timelines, references the author discussed in every other line. I will certainly finish listening to this book as I am eager to learn, whatever I can grasp from this audiobook, about the great historical figures of India which I did not hear about in my school days.

Best read not heard.
