| Summary, etc |
"The key figures in this book are the author's uncle and grandmother. They are Sree Padmanabha Dasa Maharaja Sree Chithira Thirunal Rama Varma and his mother Maharani Setu Parvathi Bayi. However, this saga is not only about them or the royal family. It highlights how, as rulers, they looked upon the millions of people of their kingdom as their own family and how, in turn, the people showered respect and devotion on them. This work strives to encompass a decisive period of Travancore's significant history, its rulers and royalty of the period under survey. It includes the cyclonic changes that swept across India, particularly affecting its hundreds of monarchies and the ancient identities of many domains, with focus on fair Travancore. It covers a formidable canvas of time, starting even before the births of the two royal cousins, Maharanies Setu Lakshmi Bayi (who later became the Regent) and Setu Parvathi Bayi (who became the mother of a Maharaja), to the time Sree Chithira Thirunal moves on to the feet of Sree Padmanabha Swamy, his adored God and Master. The attempt has been made to bring in the times of trial he and his mother's branch of the family underwent during the years he was the Maharaja in minority. It also reflects the years of pre and post-monarchy rule and thereafter. The triumph and trauma in the private and public lives of these illustrious personalities, and their own bouquets and brickbats, all find a place here. Personal memoirs of many family members, who can be considered as 'living records', command the space of the second section of this volume. The effort has been to focus on at least part of what has remained an untold story—to no longer sanction silence, to liberate a part of history which has been misrepresented at times, to put the record straight to some extent possible and intentionally avoid some highly sensitive areas. This effort has translated in words as History Liberated, as parchment of an era."-- |
