Synopsis: Biography of H.H. Krishnakumarsinhji, Maharaja of Bhavnagar. A good biography is always a source of inspiration. Some parts of the book are a rare kind of literary presentation. The writer has narrated royal happenings of the past never to be seen again. The chapters on falconry, shikar, Ooty hunt, painting, horse-riding, cricket and cow-breeding are the ones which people will like to read again and again. Bapu loved his people and people of Bhavnagar state were devoted to him. They flocked around to have a glimpse of him. Some people even worshiped him like a deity. Bapu in turn tried hard for the upliftment of all the ranks of people whether they were farmers, traders, labourers, officers or businessmen. He had keen interest in various schemes of people’s welfare. The book has given full scope for such descriptions. The writer has provided a historical framework for the growth and development of Gohil rule by various princes of the past, giving a proper exposure to some decades of 20th century. It will be greatly helpful to the students of history.
