''Based on the Historical personages and facts the novel arrests the interest and attention of the reader from first to last. There is an incessant flow in the moving narration of events. Purushotam Pomal has done a yeoman's service by pulling out an immortal true story of unrequited love from the dust-bin of history. Transliteration in English is an appreciable attempt at widening the scope of this historical novel for the English reading world.' RAJAN VISHAL, I.A.S. Dist. Collector & D.M. Jalore (Raj) " Searching for light in the dark pages of history. The storyline of the novel grips the reader and one is forced to turn the pages till he reaches the end. I can vouch for this as I had the same experience." Rajendra Rajan 'Suchitaayan', Begusarai, Bihar "In a piece of historical work, if the author focuses solely on describing the historical events, the narrative becomes very tedious. Pomalji has done an excellent job of balancing the narative with ingenuity and turned out an extremely enjoyable novel. Congratulations." Dr. Suraj Paaliwal. Wardha "The list of great works of literature which have given a new direction to the development of genere of Historical Novels in Hindi would be incomplete without "Shahzaadi Firoza", authored by Shri Pomal. It is a unique creation based on the tragic love story of a Muslim Princess and a Rajput Prince. The author has successfully woven the delicate fabric of the story which reaches out to the readers across the pages of history. The author has found an exquisite balance between the narration and the narrative. The novel is a beautiful example of confluence of history, legend and emotional quotient of a love story."

A captivating biography of one of the world’s greatest adventurers, the itinerant Mughal Princess Gulbadan, based on her long-forgotten memoir “Finally, a serious consideration of Gulbadan’s achievement.’”—Kirkus Reviews Situated in the early decades of the magnificent Mughal Empire, this first ever biography of Princess Gulbadan offers an enthralling portrait of a charismatic adventurer and unique pictures of the multicultural society in which she lived. Following a migratory childhood that spanned Kabul and north India, Gulbadan spent her middle years in a walled harem established by her nephew Akbar to showcase his authority as the Great Emperor. Gulbadan longed for the exuberant itinerant lifestyle she’d known. With Akbar’s blessing, she led an unprecedented sailing and overland voyage and guided harem women on an extended pilgrimage in Arabia. Amid increasing political tensions, the women’s “un-Islamic” behavior forced their return, lengthened by a dramatic shipwreck in the Red Sea. Gulbadan wrote a book upon her return, the only extant work of prose by a woman of the age. A portion of it is missing, either lost to history or redacted by officials who did not want the princess to have her say. Vagabond Princess contemplates the story of the missing pages and breathes new life into a daring historical figure. It offers a portal to a richly complex world, rife with movement and migration, where women’s conviviality, adventure, and autonomies shine through.
