Penguin Random House India announces acquisition of Murarirao Ghorpade

Kolkata, Mar 20 (UNI) Penguin Random House India has announced the acquisition of Murarirao Ghorpade by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and Indrajeet Ghorpade.
The book, scheduled for release in June 2025 under the Ebury Press imprint, unearths the untold story of a forgotten Maratha warrior whose courage and conviction shaped history.
Murarirao Ghorpade traces the life of a fierce soldier born in 1704, who played a crucial role in the Maratha campaigns of the Deccan. Navigating the turbulence of succession wars, political betrayals, and shifting alliances, Murarirao stood firm in his commitment to Hindavi Swaraj, forging his own path amidst the dominance of the Nawabs, the Nizam, and the British. He is remembered not only for his military brilliance—saving Robert Clive from a pivotal defeat—but also for his tumultuous personal life, including his legendary romance with the Nizam’s daughter, Saheba.
