| The Royal Rebel was commissioned on the occasion of the 50th year of Indian Independence.
It is the story of Pazhassi Raja, one of the first freedom fighters who struggled to keep his land and people from being taken over by the British. It is a story full of political intrigue, betrayal and romance and remembers a guerrilla tactician of rare calibre. It is sad, joyous and adventurous, and was prescribed as a school text book. |
