Book Summary – 

Raj is a sweeping historical novel that centers on Maharani Jaya Singh, the intelligent, compassionate daughter of the royal House of Balmer. Raised in the secluded tradition of purdah, Jaya is unprepared for the sudden responsibility that falls upon her when her Westernized husband dies—leaving her as Regent Maharani of Sirpur. As she steps into this role, she navigates political upheaval and power struggles that mirror the broader currents of India’s fight for independence. Portrayed across nearly half a century, Jaya’s transformation—her resilience, leadership, and moral courage—shines amid the grandeur and turbulence of a fading princely India. Raj is widely regarded as a powerful, richly detailed saga and a standout in modern historical fiction.

About the Author – 

Gita Mehta (1943–2023) was an acclaimed Indian-American author, filmmaker, and journalist, born into a prominent family in Delhi. Her father, Biju Patnaik, was a noted independence activist and former Chief Minister of Odisha, while her brother Naveen Patnaik also held the same post for decades. Educated at Cambridge, Mehta produced and directed documentaries, including coverage of the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war. Her writing spans both fiction and nonfiction, aiming to make Indian culture and history accessible to Western audiences. Raj, published in 1989, is one of her deeply researched fictional works, alongside others like Karma Cola, A River Sutra, and Snakes and Ladders. Her books have been translated into numerous languages and gained international recognition.
