Senapati: Sindhiya Samrajya Ke Fransisi Senanayak Benua The Bauniy Ke Sahas, Kaushal Aur Dridhnishchay Ki Avismarniya Kahaani by Raj Gopal Singh Verma [Paperback]

“I believe that Senapati by Rajgopal Singh Verma will unveil many unknown and unexplored chapters from the life of a great commander — his struggles, rise and fall, love and separation, and his journey into the twilight of life.” — Dr. Rakesh Pathak

Can you imagine that a boy born in a small European country in the 18th century would one day become a symbol of victory on the other side of the world? If his name is ‘Benoît de Boigne’, then yes.

Senapati by Rajgopal Singh Verma tells the extraordinary story of this unique French warrior. Born in Savoy, Boigne fought wars for several countries and ultimately became the commander-in-chief of Maharaja Mahadji Scindia. He built the most competent army in Hindustan, which enabled Mahadji to become the master of Delhi’s destiny.

Boigne was an invincible general and a man of firm principles. After battles in the French, Irish Brigade, and Russian armies, he turned to India. Upon returning to France, he received an invitation from Napoleon Bonaparte, but Boigne never picked up the sword again after laying it down.

This biography recounts the fascinating journey of Boigne — from soldier to undefeated commander and an influential political figure.**
