Description

From Uchchaishravas to Prithviraj Chauhan's Chetak and Ranjit Singh's Laili, horses were an integral part of the Indian landscape, myth, and history. Author of The Tale of the Horse, Yashaswini Chandra talks of the import of horses from central Asia and Arabia, of the indigenous breeds like the Kathiawari and the Manipuri, of Shah Jahan's favourite piebald horse, of expert Maratha women equestrians, of artists like Bagta, and of Rajput legends in a fantastically horsey conversation on Books & Authors this week.
