"Fact is stranger than fiction"- this proverb is aptly applicable to the book, The Fall of The Kingdom of Punjab, which is a gripping narrative depicting the downfall of the Punjab Kingdom after the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the originator of the mighty Sikh Empire in India. With his courage, bravery and strength, he had built this grand empire. But with his death, everything that he had built began to crumble into pieces. It was a game of of betrayal, planning and plotting against each other. Futile wars were waged till the empire could no longer stand on its own.

All his sons eventually died out except the youngest one, Duleep Singh, who came to power at the tender age of five. His mother, Jind Kaur, tried to rule in his place for sometime but the British finally captured the empire after the first Anglo-Sikh war. Jind Kaur was imprisoned and Duleep Singh was deported from his own kingdom to Britain. The British even caught hold of the priceless Kohinoor Diamond and confiscated it.

The Fall of The Kingdom of Punjab is a fascinating description of the chaotic phase that the Kingdom of Punjab went through, before it was finally captured by the British. It is published by Penguin Books Limited in 2014 and comes as a paperback.
