Rajasthan, also called Rajputana within living memory, is an ancient land with a veritable treasure of oral and written histories. The region has a long history, stretching back to the Old Stone Age and its geography and environment have played a significant role in shaping its many facets—politics, literature, music, art, architecture and a vibrant and living intangible cultural heritage. Rajasthan: A Concise History brings to you, in a nutshell, Rajasthan’s political, socio-cultural and economic history in a comprehensive, easy-to-read format. The book has also used archival, epigraphic, numismatic, art history, architectural and archaeological information to provide a general overview of one of India’s most colorful states.
