Prologue: The Mother

This is a historical fiction anthology of short stories woven from folklore and history, stories of Veer Gatha and local hearsay, to weave together the life of my first Muse, Maharana Pratap, in flesh blood and emotions in an attempt to show his human side. The centre of the story is not the battles you know of but the relationships that inspired him, the women like his mother Maharani Jivanta Bai and his chief consort Ajbante Kanwar who made him who he was. Please note that this is not a history post so historical accuracies cannot be referred to from here.
