What if history wasn't just about kings and empires-but about rats in temples, vanishing villages, and wells that whisper in Sanskrit?
Strange India
is a collection of 50 weird, lost, and untold stories from one of the world's oldest civilizations. From ghost towns and underground stepwells to one-man forests and ancient rituals still practiced today, this book uncovers the strange side of India that textbooks never taught.
Inside, you'll discover:
A king who ruled from beyond the grave
A village with no locks or doors
A festival where people throw babies from rooftops (safely!)
A cave painting that might show alien contact
And dozens of other stories, all stranger than fiction
Written in a grounded, poetic, and slightly witty voice, this is not your usual history book. It's a journey into the forgotten corners of India's past-where fact and folklore blur, and the strangest truths are the ones still hiding in plain sight.
Whether you're a curious reader, a traveler, or a lover of the bizarre,
will surprise you, unsettle you, and leave you wondering how much of history we've really understood.
Truth walks barefoot here. Come take a walk.
