It is a fascinating, meticulously documented study unveiling, for the first time, the composition, traditions and predilections of the nobility in 18th century Marwar. Its bearings on polity and state craft, economic paradigms and Jagirdari system have been knit together to give a balanced and lucid account of this uncharted field.
Epitomizing a lifetime of Dr. Saxena’s research on Marwar history, the book vividly captures all different articulations of political, social and economic import from a whole body of archival and non-archival sources of an institution which could only be placed next to the ruler in the hierarchy of ruling classes at different capitals of Marwar.
