The Last Queen by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: A short review
The Last Queen,history aside, shines a spotlight on yet another female character - Rani Jindan of Punjab. I’m not very familiar with Maharaja Ranjit Singh, thanks to our Anglicized history textbooks which hardly give us a look into what actually went on in the different parts of our country while the British colonized and plundered us.

The unhealthy Indian woman – that’s me!
Skinny, that is what I was called all my life…well…actually, most of my life. And now – it is just the opposite!!! I am not obese, but I am not thin either. What is worse, I am disproportionate! My upper body is too heavy while my hands and legs are scrawny. I know I need…
