Autorenporträt
Historical novels are rare in Indian as well as world literature. Especially since nobody knows about the heroic queen, Rani Chennamma of Kittur, I have researched for twenty-five years and written a well-documented historical novel in which all the serious readers will be interested for general reading and for research into historical fiction. All the important written documents and letters have been consulted. The oral information is collected from people living in and around Kittur town, and folk songs about this theme have been studied for reconstructing the historical picture of this kingdom and its encounter with the East India Company.
