KIKA - The Lion of Mewar

The chapter opens in Rajputana, 1537. A treacherous regent, Banbir, murders the king and marches to kill the infant prince Udai Singh. His nurse, Panna Dai, makes the most devastating choice a mother can make — swapping her own child in place of the prince, sacrificing him so royalty survives. Three years of exile follow, the prince trained in secret. Banbir is finally defeated at the Battle of Mavli, Udai Singh is crowned King of Mewar, and on the ninth day of May, his queen gives birth to a son — Pratap. The mountains had seen kings. They had not yet seen what was coming.The chapter opens in Rajputana, 1537. A treacherous regent, Banbir, murders the king and marches to kill the infant prince Udai Singh.
