Book Cover: The Life And Times Of Begam Samru of Sardhana

A comprehensive and detailed account written by Mahendra Narain Sharma. The account is important in the study of Begum Samru as it includes not only her political achievements and her prowess as a ruler and Commander-in-Chief but also her patronage of the arts and architecture. It combines all the historical facts with new-found knowledge of her life but its greatest strength is perhaps its objectivity. The book contains ten chapters, starting from the history and location of the state of Sardhana and ends with a look at her achievements and her legacy in women empowerment.
