The author has prepared the text of this multi-volume painstakingly. It spreads over an endless expanse of rocks and ravines, Rajasthan is rich in scenic splendours and age-old cultural traditions. Starting right from Stone Age, Rajasthan has witnessed various historical and cultural upheavals. The region became much more important when indigenous ruling houses from different parts of India began to be threatened by foreign onslaughts, masses of uprooted people started taking shelter over this area under different compulsions. The author’s eighteen years the last five years being spent as the Political Agent in Mewar, Marwar, Jaisalmer, Kotah, Bundi and Sirohi, long and intimate association with the Rajputs and their country largely enabled him to become well acquainted with their history, folk traditions and society. This book, after its publication brought to entire world not only the resounding echoes of drums and cavalcades from the remote highlands of Rajasthan, awakening people to a blazing trial of imagination about the traditions of courage, chivalry, romance and sacrifice but also its geographical background, economic resources, social system, political organization and religion.
