In late-eighteenth-century India, the glory of the Mughal emperors
was fading, and ambitious newcomers seized power, changing the
political map forever. Enter the legendary Maharajah Ranjit Singh,
whose Sikh Empire stretched throughout northwestern India into
Afghanistan and Tibet. Priya Atwal shines fresh light on this
long-lost kingdom, looking beyond its founding father to restore
the queens and princes to the story of this empire's spectacular
rise and fall. She brings to life a self-made ruling family,
inventively fusing Sikh, Mughal and European ideas of power, but
eventually succumbing to gendered family politics, as the Sikh
Empire fell to its great rival in the new India: the British.
Royals and Rebels is a fascinating tale of family, royalty and the
fluidity of power, set in a dramatic global era when new stars rose
and upstart empires clashed.
