Hindustan: Tyrannies, Myths, Confidentials and Legends is an investigative journey into the past-not to worship it, but to question it.
This book examines Indian history beyond simplified heroes, comfortable myths, and inherited certainties. Moving from ancient legends like Vikramaditya, through emperors such as Ashoka and the Mughals, into colonial rule and modern nationalism, it asks one central question: how much of what we believe about history is evidence, and how much is memory?
Rather than declaring verdicts, the book places rulers, empires, ideas, and controversies under the microscope. It explores forgotten warriors, disputed empires, powerful symbols like the Koh-i-Noor, colonial systems of control, and modern political myths. Each chapter presents claims alongside counter-claims, allowing readers to think instead of being told what to believe.
Written in clear, accessible language but grounded in serious questioning, Hindustan does not aim to offend or please. It aims to examine.
This is not a book of conclusions.
It is a book of evidence, silence, and the uncomfortable space between them.
For readers who believe that history deserves courage, balance, and honesty-this book opens the door.
