Brave women of India

Collection of 5-in-1 stories.

They are legends. Courageous, revolutionary, inspiring.

The Rani of Jhansi and the Rani of Kittur defied the British. Rani Abbakka challenged successfully the might of the Portuguese. Sultana Razia proved, in her brief reign, to be an excellent ruler and an able administrator. And Kalpana Chawla actually touched the stars she reached for.
