'300 Brave Men' by Gautam Pradhan

'300 Brave Men' by Gautam Pradhan is a magnificent story of India's warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji. Imagine yourself in the 17th century India, ruled by Sultans, Mughals and Shia rulers, imagine a warrior like Shivaji, his powerful ideas and political adroitness which would challenge the powerful rulers!! Magnificent! 

Historical novels fascinate me with the colossal setting, brave characterization, tantalizing battlefield and enthralling victories. Chhatrapati Shivaji is one of my favourite historical figures. His prudence and pragmatic attitude are distinctive. 

The plot of '300 Brave Men' revolves around Shivaji's early life, his ideologies and his life in the battlefield. The story starts with Shivaji meeting his father Shahaji in the young age. Shivaji's cleverness and brilliance flabbergast his father. At the same time, Shivaji views the immoral deeds committed in the kingdom.

The rulers tyranny humiliates the morals of the citizens, Shivaji gives strict punishments for those who assault women and innocents.  His sensible judgement captivates the people. The story moves with the fast paced, gripping narration, the characters are sketched in an impeccable way. 

The language is refined and adorned with the exotic emotions. Gautam Pradhan  has clearly inscribed a profound historical novel. Recommending this magnificent novel to know more about India's powerful warriors and their prowess.
