Reviews

"It gives good insights into various controversies including Ranj and his ‘leg glance to the throne’. I must say that I thought I knew the story of Ranji and his accession to the Jam Nawanagar, but Boria Majumdar gives us a detailed history of the family plots and subplots which would do justice to a Shakespeare play."Rev.
