I. ROAD. JAIPUR (Rajasthak) PREFACE The District Gazetteer of Bikaner is the tenth in the series of District Gazetteers being published by the Government of Rajas- than in collaboration with the Central Gazetteers Unit of India. The area now comprising the district of Bikaner formed a part of the erstwhile princely State of Bikaner, which was founded by Rao Bika, a Rathor prince, in the fifteenth century A.D. The antiquity of the tract is, however, much older and a reference about it is available in the Mahabharata. For sometime the area remained the cradle of the migrant Yaudheyas. When the Rathors appeared on the scene, the territory was inhabited by various Jat clans. For about half-a-millennium the descendants of Rao Bika ruled over this region with Bikaner town as the seat of their Government. Under the Rathors the State witnessed various upheavals. The ramparts of Bikaner fort remind us even today of the saga of many a fierce battle. With the growth of Mughal power under Akbar, Bikaner became one of the leading states of Rajputana, Its brave soldiery, known for its chivalrous deeds, constituted the flower of the Mughal army. After the disintegration of the Mughal empire the Bikaner House suffered a set-back and there was a slow decline in its prosperity and power. In the beginning of the 19th century, the State sought British protection owing to internecine feuds with its own nobility and the neighbouring states. Bikaner remained a great centre of learning during the medic* val period. The town still possesses one of the biggest collections of rare manuscripts in the country. Known connoisseurs of art and literature, the Bikaner rulers gave patronage to many renowned litterateurs, painters and architects in their courts. The first Gazetteer of the Bikaner State, written by Captain P.W. Powlett, was published in 1874. Erskine’s Gazetteer of Western Rajputana States and Bikaner Residency was published about three de'cadcs later in 1909. A brief description of the State and its constituent parts was also included in the Imperial Gazetteer of India and its provincial scries. The Gazetteers of the pre-indepen- dence days contained onl}- such information as would prove useful to a colonial$OYcrnmcni in administering a country of .continental 11 were prepared dimensions. In the princely States the Gazetteers State officials and the solely for the use of the Darbars, the publications merely political officers accredited to' them. These of the highlighted the customs and traditions of the upper echelons society while completely ignoring the lower strata. .transformations have taken place in India, in political, • Mighty during the past -.few decades. The social . and economic sphere country, has experienced far-reaching changes, lUndcr the impact of forces. old _ Gazetteers, internal and international _ social The although a valuable source material for the scholars and historians, have become out-of-date in the changed circumstances. The work of revising and rewriting the Gazetteers was, therefore,. taken, up as a national project which is being implemented by the Government of India, State Governments and the Administrations of, the. Union Territories. The new series of District Gazetteers gives an all-sided and inter-connected account of the- emerging democratic pattern of life in the country since Independence. The material available in. the, old Gazetteers has, been used freely particularly in chapters dealing with subjects like topography, rivers, geology etc. where no change in the text was required. The bulk of the information had, however, to be collected,from a, number of publications. Government and private, and from pther sources. The data included in the volume, unless specifically mentioned in the text otherwise, pertain to the period ending. 1965-66. I am greatly indebted to the various departments of the State and Central Government. Semi-Government institutions and indi- , viduals who have helped us by extending their -co-operation and making the necessary material ..available. 1 must , make a special mention and express my .thanks to Dr. P-U. Chopra, M.. A, Ph, D., Editor, District Gazetteers and the staff of Central Gazetteers Unit, . Union Ministry of Education -and Youth Services, -New Delhi, for their effective role in planning arid co-ordinating the work of pre- paration of the District Gazetteers. The Unit .scrutinised the draft of this volume with great care and-madc several helpful suggestions .with a view to improving the standard and quality of the publication, lam also indebted . to Shri Maya Ram, the then Director, who prepared the first draft of this- Gazetteer and sent it to Central Gazetteer* Vmt, New Delhi. I makc grateful acknowledgement of my in obligations to Sliri K.P.U Menon and Shri Z. S. Jhala, the ex-Chief Secretaries and Shri S.L.

    CRAFT AND TRADE IN THE 18th CENTURY RAJASTHAN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of ^l)ilos;opl)p IN )/er HISTORY ! SO I A. // XATHAR HUSSAIN -- .A Under the Supervision of Prof. B. L. Bhadani Chairman & Coordinator CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ^Ci>Musu m ABSTRACT The study on the 18* century has been attracting the attention of the historians such as Richard Bamett, C.A. Bayly, Muzaffar Alam, Andre Wink, Chetan Singh and others. Two subsequent works on the eastern Rajasthan by S.P. Gupta and Dilbagh Singh and on the northern Rajasthan by G.S.L. Devra have added new dimensions to the whole issue of existing debate on the 18' century, a period of transition in the history of India. Therefore, the importance of the studies on Rajasthan assumes significance which contains a treasure house of archival records, hitherto largely unexplored. My work is consisted of eight chapters with an introduction and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the study of geographical and historical profile of the Rajasthan. The geographical factor such as types of soils, hills, river and vegetation always nourishes the economy of the region. The physical location of Rajasthan had influenced its history to a greater extent. The region bears the physical diversity and we can divide it into two parts namely in the fertile south eastern zone and the thar arid zone. It was bounded by the Mughal subas (provinces) like Multan, Sindh, Delhi, Agra, Gujarat and Malwa.

This article is an attempt to understand the contours and history of Thar Desert of Rajasthan and to explore the features that have kept the various desert states (Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner etc.) and their populace sustaining in this region throughout the ages, even when this region had scarce water resources and intense desert with huge and extensive dunes. Through political control the dynasts kept the social organisation intact which ensured regular incomes for their respective dynasties. Through the participation of various social actors this dry and hot desert evolved as a massive trade emporium. The intense trade activities of Thar Desert kept the imperial centres intact in this agriculturally devoid zone. In the harsh environmental conditions, limited means, resources and the objects, the settlers of this desert were able to create a huge economy that sustained effectively. The economy build by them not only allowed the foundation and formation of the states, it also ensured their continuation and expansion over the centuries.
