An exemplary piece of work to dabble into Rajputana history, that made me realize how little I knew about my roots, how riveting it is, and how much more there is to know about it.

Twenty years of James Tod's life were dedicated to a region in Western India that he got enchanted with. The book covers the stories of important rulers and their foes that shaped the history of a vast desert state. Read the complete review here https://wp.me/p6rxcY-oW

This book combines the history of the different districts of Rajasthan which are Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Jaipur, and Chittor(Chittorgarh), to name a few. From Bappa Rawal, the founder of Mewar, to the noble Maharana Pratap Singh.
