Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

[Aditya Kulkarni · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book to learn about the history of Rajasthan and the various Rajput states that ruled over this region. The volume 1 deals with the origin of various Rajput clans and covers the history of the Mewar kingdom in detail. Some of the details mentioned by the author are too good to be true. There are numerous mistakes also in the book which might be known to the reader if he is well versed in Indian history or in the Hindu mythology. Nevertheless, it is still a good book and a lot of credit must be given to James Tod who was the political agent of the British East India Company to the Western Rajpoot States in the 19th century.
