The lives of royalty make for fascinat-ing reading. And here is one, titled ‘The last Queen’. Daughter of a royal kennel keeper, the beautiful Jindan Kaur went on to become Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s youngest and last queen; his favourite. She became regent when her son Dalip, barely six years old, unexpectedly inherited the throne. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, passionate and dedicated to protecting her son’s heritage, Jindan distrusted the British and fought hard to keep them from annexing Punjab. Defying tradition, she stepped out of the confines that women of that period had to adhere to, cast aside the veil and conducted state business in public.
