{"product_id":"the-regal-patriot","title":"The Regal Patriot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe princely states of pre-independent India threw up many charismatic leaders, political stalwarts and influential princes. Among the more dynamic was Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner (1880-1943). Inheriting a strife-ridden kingdom as a mere adolescent of eighteen, Ganga Singh showed a leadership and wisdom well beyond his years, successfully reigning in warring factions and carving out a meticulous, and far sighted plan of progress for Bikaner, which he executed with remarkable success. Widely acknowledged for his prowess as a warrior, he was soon regarded as an able statesman and visionary, both nationally and at international forums, many of which he attended as Indias representative. As a ruler, he changed the fortunes of his state by turning a desert kingdom into a fertile prosperous land by constructing the Gang Canal. Spokesperson for the Indian Princes and their representative to the British, he first proposed the India of a federal state. Architect-builder, able diplomat, eloquent orator, warrior, trusted and benevolent ruler, Ganga Singhs muti-hued personality and rich legacy make him one of the most resplendent rigures in the vibrant history of Rajasthan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roli Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45875431571654,"sku":"DADAX8174365052","price":6.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71Re1v8ErBL.jpg?v=1779606497","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/the-regal-patriot","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
