Embark on a sweeping, multigenerational saga that tracks a Sikh family across a century of war, empire, and resistance—from the Anglo-Sikh Wars and 1857 to Partition—with For Whose Dear Sake Our Fathers Died by Priya Hajela!

About the Book: “Countries are made up of stories. So are families.”

At the heart of this epic narrative is Beant Kaur, sitting by the warmth of a shawl on winter nights, gathering her family close to remind them of who they are and where they come from. What begins as a granddaughter listening to her grandfather’s half-mumbled memories soon unfurls into a vast, deeply personal history. Spanning nearly a hundred years, the novel moves from the bloody battlefields of the Anglo-Sikh wars through the uneasy shadow of British rule, the uprising of 1857, and the harrowing voyage of the Komagata Maru that challenged the British Empire across oceans.

Passed down through fragments of grief, pride, and oral memory rather than official textbooks, these are the stories of men who chose to fight when ordered to retreat, soldiers caught serving the very power they once resisted, and families carrying honor and contradiction in equal measure. Through Beant’s journey to piece together the lives of her ancestor Balwant and the generations that followed, Priya Hajela delivers a magnificent meditation on inheritance—exploring not just land or lineage, but the vital tales we must preserve before they are swallowed by time.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Sweeping Historical Epic: Spans nearly a century of monumental turning points in Indian history, from nineteenth-century conflicts to Partition.

  • Intimate Oral Perspective: Centers on family legacy, memory, and the untold human costs of empire and freedom struggles.

  • Rich Character Journeys: Follows complex figures navigating the conflicting demands of survival, loyalty, and fierce resistance.

  • The Perfect Gift: An essential, immersive read for history buffs, lovers of multigenerational family sagas, and readers of historical fiction.
