Among the more dynamic was Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner (1880-1943). Inheriting a strife-ridden kingdom as a mere adolescent of eighteen, Ganga Singh showed a leadership and wisdom well beyond his years, successfully reigning in warring factions and carving out a meticulous, and far sighted plan of progress for Bikaner, which he executed with remarkable success. Widely acknowledged for his prowess as a warrior, he was soon regarded as an able statesman and visionary, both nationally and at international forums, many of which he attended as India's representative. As a ruler, he changed the fortunes of his state by turning a desert kingdom into a fertile prosperous land by constructing the Gang Canal. Spokesperson for the Indian Princes and their representative to the British, he first proposed the India of a federal state. Architect-builder, able diplomat, eloquent orator, warrior, trusted and benevolent ruler, Ganga Singh's muti-hued personality and rich legacy make him one of the most resplendent rigures in the vibrant history of Rajasthan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roli Books Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46468981555351,"sku":"9788174365057","price":387.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788174365057.webp?v=1769307583","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-regal-patriot-9788174365057","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
