Chandrakanta: An English Translation

By Raman Kapur

Chandrakanta and the other books on that series are a very rich part of Indian cultural and literary heritage. They provide a glimpse of the life style and etiquette of Rajwadas (independent Princely states) prevailing in 19th Century India, emphasizing the entrenchment of caste system and religious relationship as woven into social fabric of those time and era. It will not be out of place to mention that most apt and beautiful description of the jungles, hills, valleys, hilly caves and ruins of old buildings has been narrated by the author so vividly because he had a chance to previously roam about in the jungles and hills of Chakiya and Naugarh areas as he had contract for the jungles of these two states from Rajah Ishwari Prasad Narayan Singh of Varanasi.
