In the last decades of the 17th Century, when Aurangzeb was spreading his rule of hatred, the dynasty of Marwar was facing its toughest challenge. Its ruler Jaswant Singh died while campaigning in Afghanistan, leaving no heir. This was an opportunity for Aurangzeb to impose his rule over the region. But one Rajput warrior displayed a rare combination of intelligence and reckless valor while fighting against the odds. This is the story of that soldier – this is an epic saga about Veer Durgadas.
