Details: Each region in India has a story of resistance to tell. A story where faith triumphs over fanaticism. A story of survival. A story of transgenerational trauma, now comatose and now active and overflowing like a volcano. 1398: Bhargavi and the Mongol Storm is symbolic to each of these stories. This is a bygone retelling of the brave resistance offered by Raja Dulachand of Bhatner against Timur and the consequences thereafter. It is the saga of a Rajpurohit and his daughter protecting an ancient Vigraha from the Timurid forces, the transgenerational resonances of which are echoing in the present. It is about how the Bhatneris fought till their last breath, protecting the motherland. JW Bond and Arnold Wright highlight about the indomitable prowess of the Bhatis of Bhatner thus, “The valor displayed by the Bhati princes in repelling successive waves of Mahomedan invasions earned for them and their descendants the title of ‘Uttar Bharkinwar’, that is ‘the mighty portals of the north’ (of India).” Events involving fictional characters are woven with the historical narration to connect the present with the past. Anecdotes from history and cultural traditions pertaining to certain regions of Bharat are interlaced throughout the contemporary yarn.
