About the Book
The Courtesan, The Mahatma and The Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History
By Manu S. Pillai
An enthralling collection of forgotten stories from Indian history—filled with unexpected heroes, intriguing characters, and dramatic moments that shaped the nation.
From a Maratha prince who defied caste norms to a Muslim deity worshipped in a Hindu temple, from a courtesan-turned-warrior princess to another who became a singing sensation on the gramophone, The Courtesan, The Mahatma & The Italian Brahmin brings to life unusual, overlooked, and astonishing episodes from India’s past.
Manu S. Pillai, a masterful historian and storyteller, introduces readers to an India beyond conventional history books—one that is vibrant, diverse, and filled with contradictions. Whether it’s the arrival of the railways, the rise of Indian football, or the photographer who became a Maharajah’s companion, each tale is as fascinating as it is revealing.
- Did you know that Lord Curzon, despite his unpopularity, was deeply passionate about India’s monuments?
- Or that an Englishman once revered Sanskrit as a sacred language?
- And what about the mysterious goddess with three breasts?
Through these witty, insightful, and impeccably researched essays, Pillai not only reclaims forgotten stories but also explores their relevance in today’s world. This book is a must-read for anyone curious about the hidden gems of Indian history and how they continue to shape our present.
