Dogra Thunder: The Ballad of General Zorawar Singh: The world’s first rhymed retelling of General Zorawar Singh’s life.

Arunesh Chand Mankotia is a seasoned professional with over two dcades of experience in the consulting and talent industry — but beyond boardrooms and strategy, his heart beats for the mountains and his heritage. A trained mountaineer, biker, and trekker, Arunesh grew up amidst the rugged spirit of the Himalayas, shaping a deep connection with nature, courage, and culture.

Rooted in the ancient soil of Mankot, Jammu & Kashmir, and tracing his family lineage to Jwala Ji, Himachal Pradesh, Arunesh carries the proud legacy of a true Dogra. His passion lies in rediscovering, researching, and reviving the forgotten stories of Dogra valor and identity. Through his writing — especially Dogra Thunder: The Ballad of General Zorawar Singh — he hopes to preserve a glorious past and inspire a new generation to know the strength of their own roots.

“Born a Dogra, bound by duty, and driven by pride — I write not to remember history, but to keep it alive.”
