From Chittogarh to Delhi, Multan, Dipalpur, and Beyond
From Chittorgarh to Delhi, Multan, Dipalpur, and Beyond is a sweeping multigenerational family memoir tracing nearly 700 years of history, beginning with the fall of Chittorgarh fort and the extraordinary survival of one Rajput ancestor whose bloodline endured through centuries of upheaval, migration, and change. When Chittorgarh fell, some 30,000 perished while a handful survived — among them Indersen Chauhan, the forefather of the author. Taken as a prisoner of war to Delhi by the Sultanate, his fate, like that of so many others, was left unrecorded by history. It is here that this family's story begins to be told — passed down from elder to elder, generation to generation, blending memory, imagination, and the deep human need to know where we come from. Part history, part family legend, this book is a remarkable act of remembrance — an attempt to reclaim a lineage that stretches across medieval India and beyond, and to honour the ancestors whose survival made everything that followed possible.
