Sinossi

History remembers the Lion of Punjab as a conqueror, a nation-builder, a visionary ruler. But the story of Maharaja Ranjit Singh is incomplete without the women who stood beside him, behind him, and often far ahead of him. The Veil & The Sword brings these women out of the footnotes of history and restores them to the centre of the Sikh Empire’s political and emotional world. This is the untold history of queens, warriors, widows, entertainers and powerbrokers who shaped the court from within the zenana. They negotiated alliances, influenced policy, protected bloodlines, and in some cases held the empire together when the throne itself was unstable. Some were married for love, others for politics, and many were sacrificed to ambition, rivalry and betrayal.
