Here are five notable quotes from Splendours of Royal Mysore: The Untold Story of the Wodeyars by Vikram Sampath:
-
“The state was ruled for over 600 years by the Yadava dynasty who called themselves the Wodeyars of Mysore.” Goodreads+1
-
“It is this social ethos that Mysore has been able to maintain, even as the rat-race rushes on unabated elsewhere… The kingdom may be long gone, but it still lives among the people, their attitudes, their daily discussions, musings and reminiscences.” Goodreads
-
“The sad truth of our glorious land is that our countrymen do not lack in wisdom, courage and intellect; but they do not lack in treachery, cunningness and avarice either. … The misfortune, however, remains that we have not learnt any lessons from history…” Goodreads
-
“It would be no exaggeration to say that had Madhava Rao lived on, India’s history would have unfolded differently, and the East India Company would have had a tougher time subjugating the country.” Goodreads
-
“The people of the Deccan never reconciled to the fact of being governed by invaders who had occupied the throne of power at Delhi.”
