A land of colours and festivals, a land where tradition and modernity
live side by side, a land with a history that is symbolized by images
of valour, sacrifices and battles, a land that is the birthplace of
grassroots democracy in India, a land dotted with beautiful and
breathtaking palaces and forts, a land that is the most densely
populated desert in the world and the largest state in India,
Rajasthan is all this and more. Earlier known as Rajpootana, the story
of Rajasthan is interesting not only from a linear historical
standpoint but also from a cultural, sociological and social change
perspective. The book is a collection of 33 articles and short
comments or notes that provides a multi-faceted look at Rajasthan and
Jaipur – its modern-day capital. A potpourri that explores Rajasthan’s
present and past, from early centres of agriculture and metallurgy in
the region, the coming of the Rajputs, the impact of British rule on
the kingdoms of Rajpootana, origin and evolution of tribals in the
state, people’s movements in Rajpootana, the merger of the princely
states into Rajasthan, etc., ISBN - 8131603288
