#RatnagiriChaRaja - The Burmese King in Exile by Sudha Shah

Thibaw, the last king of Burma, ascended to the throne in 1878. His reign ended in 1885, when Burma was conquered by the British. He was forced to abdicate the throne and was exiled to Ratnagiri in India, where he remained till his death in 1916. On our Online Talk #RatnagirichaRaja, author Sudha Shah narrates the story of the once all-powerful king, from his seven-year reign to the years in exile, offering insights about how he and his family coped with forced isolation and separation from all they had once known and cherished, and how the exile continued to echo in the lives of his descendants, well after it ended.

About the speaker:
Sudha Shah is the author of ‘The King in Exile: The Fall of the Royal Family of Burma’, published by HarperCollins India in 2012. She spent seven years researching and writing the book, inspired by Amitav Ghosh’s book ‘The Glass Palace’ on Burma’s royal family. Her book was shortlisted for the Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize and for the Tata Literature Live First Book Award, and has been translated into Thai, Burmese and Marathi.
