About this title

Synopsis

The Battle of Narnaul was one of the fiercest battles of 1857, marked by heavy loss of life and forgotten heroes. Among them was the valiant Rao Tula Ram, a man whose story remains largely unknown.

Rao Tula Ram was not just a warrior but also a strategist. For years, he gathered resources, built secret alliances with Rajputana kingdoms, and later sought support from Persia, Afghanistan, and Russia to fight the British. His efforts are an overlooked chapter of India’s struggle.

Through meticulous research and thorough analysis, Kulpreet Yadav and Madhur Rao revive these narratives, detailing the valor and sacrifices of these unsung warriors while providing a vivid, detailed account of the conflict and the relentless six-year resistance that followed.

Clear, deeply researched, and compelling, The Battle of Narnaul is a gripping retelling of a forgotten fight for freedom, a book for both history lovers and general readers.
