James Tod's Rajasthan


Book Description

While the importance and aesthetic delight of Tod`s collections are beyond doubt, the accuracy and political objectives of his history have always been controversial matters. This book explores not only his collections but his work as an author, and the reception of his ideas by other scholars and writers. The chapters are all written by experts on Tod or on Rajasthani art and history; and each of them explores one aspect of his collections, or their broader context in Tod`s life and times.




Tod's Annals of Rajasthan


Book Description

Excerpt from Tod's Annals of Rajasthan: The Annals of the Mewar The present volume is an attempt to rescue from obscurity at least a portion of this once famous work, and to place it before the reader in what, it is hoped, may prove a convenient and attractive form. Mewar, or Udaipur, with which alone it deals, is, historically, the most important of all the Rajpt'itana states; for the history of Mewar was, for centuries, the history of Rajpt'itana, while, at one period, it was almost the history of India. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to retell the story in Tod's own language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
