About the Book

We have been told that history is a neat timeline of dates, battles, and celebrated icons. But what if that is only half the story and history is also a riveting act of recovery?

Untold Chapters from the History of India goes beyond the history we learned to excavate pivotal individuals, quiet acts of defiance, fascinating mysteries, and events that shaped our subcontinent.

From the sixteen-year-old spy to the lost river that flows underground, a tribal Indian Robin Hood to schoolgirls smuggling a revolution in their lunchboxes, the brilliant minds that gave the world zero, chess, and shampoo to challenging traditional narratives, the book invites you to read the past through a new lens.

History can be intriguing for the inquisitive and curious mind that refuses to accept a single presented version of the past.
