Well, reading the great rulers of India will somewhat help me to understand my subject (history) better.
Even though I already know about Krishnadeva Raya, Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya, Samudra Gupta & Harsh (which I have recently studied in my first paper of major), reading this beautiful illustration has given a really clear view to the blur chapter I have already known.
I liked it better than Bengali classic by Anant Pai (Amar chitra Katha) 🌼

Amar Chitra Katha has done a great favour to Indian kids.
History is deemed boring by majority of Indian students, if not all. Through these colourful graphic books, ACK has provided kids an indispensable introduction to India's glorious past.
In this compendium, we have the heroic tales of Harsha, Krishna Deva Raya, Samudra Gupta, Chandra Gupta and Ashoka.

Stories of Krishnadeva Raya, Ashoka, chandragupta Maurya, Samudra Gupta and Harsha are incredible. Illustrations, details of the storyline and the art of writing is impeccable.
