Synopsis Hemchandra, popularly known by his short name Hemu in History, is undoubtedly one of the most colourful and in testing personalities in the medieval Indian history. He was a great general in whose dictionary that word Defeat did not find a place. He was a great administrator, ruler and an enlightened and secular person. It is an irony that a person like him does not find adequate space in our historical discourse. The present book supplies this desideratum. Hopefully, the scholars of history as well as general readers, will find it useful.
