     The Australian Who Fought for Jhansi Ki Rani
    Jan 22 2024

    We know that when the Maharaja of Jhansi died in 1853, the British East India Company refused to recognize the claim of his adopted heir and issued an order for Jhansi's annexation instead.

Fascinating hidden gems from Indian history

"Long Story Short", what an absolute delight to listen to! This podcast offers a captivating journey into the lesser-known stories from Indian history, providing a fresh perspective on the rich tapestry of our past.

The stories are well-researched, providing a wealth of information that goes beyond the surface level. I appreciate how the host seamlessly weaves together historical facts, anecdotes, and personal insights, making the episodes both informative and entertaining.

The background music complements the storytelling perfectly, creating an immersive experience that transports you to the time and place being described. The choice of music is thoughtful and enhances the overall atmosphere of the episodes without overpowering the narration.

"Long Story Short" is not just a podcast for history enthusiasts; it is for anyone who appreciates a well-told story. Whether you have a deep interest in Indian history or simply enjoy discovering intriguing tales from the past, this podcast is a must listen!
