History is a chronicle of struggles for the sake of power, but in that there have been people who fought not just for power, but also for freedom. And such men and women have been immortalized as bravehearts. In Medieval India, Veer Chhatrasal stands along side with Chatrapati Shivaji and Maharana Pratap, as one of the bravest fighters for freedom from the Muslim rule, a man who fought for freedom till the end of his life. Chhatrasal not only established an independent state in Bundelkhand, he was also a patron of fine arts, and a good writer himself. Of the 82 years he lived, Chhatrasal fought 52 battles during his 44 year old reign. From the Narmada to Yamuna, from Chambal to Tons, Chhatrasal’s writ ran supreme.
