History

She was born to a nautch girl from the dingy alleys of Old Delhi, raised in a tiny hamlet in Haryana, abused as a kid, orphaned before she was ten, and bought to be a concubine before entering her teens. And yet, she beat every odd Providence threw her way and went on to become a queen who would rule one of the wealthiest territories in the Mughal realm for over five decades. This is the story of Begum Samru, the biggest success story that history almost forgot.
