| Abstract | Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi, a titan of Gujarati literature, redefined the Indian historical novel through his magnum opus, the Patan Trilogy. Utilizing the contemporary English translations—The Glory of Patan, The Lord of Gujarat, and The King of Kings—this paper explores Munshi’s ability to blend meticulous historical detail with psychological depth. By examining the power dynamics between Munjal and Minaldevi, the grassroots heroism of Kak, and the pervasive socio-political influence of the Jain community, this study illustrates how Munshi used the "Great Man" theory of history to forge a sense of Asmita (cultural identity). |
