In her new historical novel, *Maharaja’s Moran*, author Chetna Keer revives the story of Moran, the consort of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, a figure often lost to history. Keer seeks to reclaim Moran's narrative, which has been overshadowed by patriarchal accounts. The novel explores the romance between Moran and Ranjit Singh while also serving as a socio-cultural critique of their era. Keer emphasizes that Moran's story is not just a love tale but a reflection of the struggles faced by women from marginalized communities, particularly the kanjar community from which Moran hailed. Through extensive research and oral histories, Keer reconstructs Moran's life, aiming to present a more respectful portrayal of courtesans, often misrepresented in popular culture. The narrative draws parallels to contemporary issues, highlighting the ongoing relevance of Moran's legacy. *Maharaja’s Moran* was launched in Amritsar and is available for purchase both online and in local bookstores.
