The Battle of Narnaul: Rao Tula Ram's Secret Plot to Overthrow the British, 1857–1863
The Battle of Narnaul, marked by intense combat and significant casualties, remains shrouded in mystery, with its heroes, especially the valiant Rao Tula Ram, largely forgotten.
The strategic genius of Rao Tula Ram, who not only led his troops with unmatched bravery but also spent years amassing resources and forging clandestine alliances with major Rajputana kingdoms to defy British rule, remains an undiscussed section of history.

Through meticulous research, the book resurrects these stories, detailing the valour and sacrifices of these unsung warriors while providing a vivid, blow-by-blow account of the conflict and the relentless six-year resistance that followed.
Drawing from primary sources, eyewitness accounts and thorough analysis, The Battle of Narnaul delivers an authentic and captivating portrayal of this crucial chapter in history, making it a must-read for both scholars and general readers.
