Ahilyabai Holkar

by Meena Ranade, P.B. Kavadi (Illustrator)

Malharrao Holkar of Malwa, in Central India, was so impressed by the religious devotion and regal bearing of eight-year-old Ahilya, that he decided to make her his daughter-in-law. A decision he never regretted. Recognizing her abilities, Malharrao trained the young girl in the art of statesmanship and trusted her enough to leave the administration in her hands when he went on military expeditions. Then, in a series of misfortunes, Ahilya lost her husband, father-in-law and son. The brave queen took charge and turned Malwa into a contented and prosperous kingdom. So much so that even the British, whom she opposed steadfastly, praised her as a truly great ruler.

It is a story of Ahilyadevi along with pictures, sort of comics. A very small read to freshen up your mind. Best suitable for children but anyone can enjoy it and refresh their knowledge. Moreover it is free on kindle unlimited.

These books bring nostalgia and courage, hair raising heroic stories to me. I collect them. Have read many books at my grandparents house. Don't know where they are now so I'm collecting them all, they can beat Tintin also.
