In Kashmir, he was the son of a champion. In England, he was a man hiding from his name. Born in the shadow of his father, a legendary fighter known as the "Camel Lifter" Rajah feels the crushing weight of legacy in his small Kashmiri village. He is a master of Baan, the ancient art of combat, but he dreams not of honour, but of escape. In the grey, rain-slicked streets of 1960s England, he finds it. Shedding his past like a second skin, he becomes a factory worker, an anonymous face in the crowd. He falls for Kiran, a woman who represents a future free from duty, and carefully builds a new life, a life built on a terrible secret. But the past refuses to be buried. A letter arrives from home, its words like shards of glass, telling of a ruthless rival who has stolen his land, threatened his abandoned wife, and is raising his forgotten son as his own. Forced to return to the world he fled, Rajah finds himself a ghost in his own life. His honour is in tatters, his family lost. His only chance at redemption lies in a single, desperate challenge: an epic Baan duel where the winner takes all, and the loser is erased from history. From the vibrant fields of Kashmir to the gritty heart of industrial Britain, Rajah: Son of a Camel Lifter is a sweeping, multi-generational saga of heroism, courage, honour and the savage fight for a second chance. It is the unforgettable story of a flawed hero's journey to reclaim his name and forge a new legacy from the ashes.
