Bought for a reread. Good quality used book.
I got a great deal for a used version since I bought this for a reread. The book is a very interesting take on Rajput philosophy and maybe the reasons it didn’t sustain in the future. The ode to the principles and teachings of the most manipulative Indian God, Krishna is something that raises this book to a philosophical level without diverging from the stories of the characters. I love the plot of the relationships between everyone, the wife, the brother, the friend, father, the prince himself, just everyone. This counts as an epic maybe that comes second to Mahabharat, only that this is a fantasy.

gripping, engrossing and educational.
If you're looking to get a glimpse into the Rajput dynasty era, while enjoying an entertaining storyline, then this novel hits the jackpot. But please don't mistake it with an autobiography as its mostly a fiction.

One of the best books by an Indian author
One of the best books by an Indian author. This historical fiction is a must read. He brings to life the times of Rana Sangha through the eyes of his son Maharaj Kumar. The fact that maharaja Kumar is married to the to be Saint Meerabai is the icing on the cake.Maharaj kumar's ruminations about his life , ideas and times are a classic. Unputdownable.

KUDOS TO KIRAN NAGARKAR
kiran nagarkar is far ahead of all Indian writers. cuckold has no flab inspite of its length. the novel transports you to a bygone era and keeps you there. language, plot, technique - cuckold has it all and how. the character of kausalya stays fresh in the mind.the sahitya academy award in India is only the beginning, it deserves greater accolades.my greatest take is the character of the protagonist... we are able to relate to the prince because he comes across as someone we want to be.chandra mouli[...]
