Is this book historically precise? Not in the way that would please a stern academic. But does it capture the spirit of Maratha warriors? Absolutely. This is a creative retelling, a remix, a fun-sized, slow-motion, cinematic explosion of the grandeur that Bajirao evoked. It’s an entry point into myth, legend, and the thrill of storytelling that makes kids want to leap onto furniture, fists raised, ready to conquer imaginary worlds. So, if your child has been chanting Malhari at full volume, just know: I understand. I’ve been there. And this book? Well, it was the only way out. Sincerely,
A Fellow Survivor of the Malhari Obsession
