The object the Thakur Sahib has in writing it is to benefit the fund for the widows and orphans of those Indian soldiers killed in the present war. To this fund he intends to give 50 per cent, of any profits that may accrue from its sale. I have therefore much pleasure in complying with his request. Purchasers of this little book will not only be getting information about a noble Indian people the Rajputs, to the Seesodia clan of which the Thakur Sahib belongs but they will be benefiting those gallant soldiers who are now bravely fighting for the Empire in Europe, Asia and Africa. English people are often reproached with their ignorance of India. There is, however, some excuse for their ignorance in the vastness of the subject. It is quite impossible for any man, be he European or Indian, to understand it completely. No man can know India; the best informed on the subject can but know parts of it. The only way to gain a knowledge of the great dependency is to read such books as this, and to make the acquaintance of one tribe or one part of the vast country called India at a time. The Thakur Sahib in his book introduces the reader vii viii FOREWORD " to the Rajputs: a Fighting Race," to which people he himself belongs. Moreover, he belongs to the Seesodia clan, the noblest of these noble people, the head of which " is His Highness the Maharana of Udaipur, the Sun of the Hindus." He is thus well qualified for the task he has undertaken. I have passed many years of my life among Rajputs; I have lived in close intimacy with their chiefs and nobles, with whom I have spent many happy days hunting and shooting, sports in which they all excel; and I have listened to these stories and folklore, and those of their bards and retainers, told round the camp-fire in the evenings. I have many valued friends of all classes among them. I can thus vouch for the accuracy of the account given of them by the Thakur Sahib. They are, and ever have been, honourable, brave and true. I will say one more word: of the population of India only a certain proportion are warlike. There are many educated Indian gentlemen who do not know English. These two facts are often ignored by those possessing a very superficial knowledge of India, but they are facts to be remembered by those who would understand that country. O'MOORE CREAGH, General. November 29, 1914. PREFACE OUR object in offering this volume to the British public is to stimulate its interest in India and her people, especially in that ruling class of Indian society whose loyal action at the present moment calls for an appreciative understand- ing of its motives. I refer to those princes of warlike race who are rendering such signal service to the British Empire by manfully coming forward to its help in this hour of crisis. An attempt has been made in the following pages to give some idea of that inviolable principle, the corner- stone of the social fabric of Hinduism, which, alive now as ever, underlies the loyalty and patriotism illustrated to-day in a manner unparalleled in history by these hereditary warriors of India. That principle is swami- dharma, a Sanskrit word implying the duties of fidelity and gratitude, which has no exact equivalent in any other language. The German Emperor apparently counted on the dis- loyalty of India at this juncture to abet him in his ambitious projects; his calculations and conclusions have proved IX x PREFACE false, and the direct lie has been given to his expectations by the princes of India who are marching with their armies side by side with those of the Allies against his imperial hosts. The short sketch of the warlike races of the East included in this book will open the eyes of Britain's enemies, and show them and the world at large that they have both the will and the ability to maintain their ancestral traditions. It will be generally and readily appreciated that men recruited from races who have from time immemorial made a profession of war must from a military point of view be superior to troops raised offhand, however excellent their training; and that these races, who have more campaigns and battles to their credit within the last century than any European army the German army lacking conspicuously all recent record of active service must constitute a formidable power when their full fighting strength is brought into the field. While the 70,000 men already at the front can be easily reinforced, and, as the Times of India pointed out, 100,000 men be regularly supplied every month for the next two years, the magnitude of this proffered help counts for less even than the fact that it will be spontaneously forthcoming. India is participating in the present conflict, firstly, in loyal support of the British Empire; secondly, to defend her own country from the chance of ruthless spoliation by THAKUR SHRI JESSRAJSINGHJI SEESODIA THE AUTHOR Photograph by Parker &- Co., High Holbom, London, II'. C. PREFACE xi the Germans. She cannot calmly contemplate an ultimate victory for the German arms which would be followed by wholesale reprisals for her intervention in the war, involving the destruction of her homes and industries and the com- plete paralysis of her national activity. India, after her manifold experiences at the hands of European powers, has certainly no desire to be dominated by Germany, and to see the principles of democracy and all that they imply trodden underfoot by the iron heel of the German uhlan. Last, and not least, of her reasons for willingly taking up arms is to uphold that form of liberal government which Britain has helped to create and develop, and which Germany would certainly destroy. The part that India will play in the present war will be of absorbing interest, and as its part is essentially on the side of justice, honour and dharma, there can be but one issue of the war that is, victory for dharma.

Rajasthan has seen the grandeur of the Rajputs, the gallantry of the Mughals, and the extravagance of Jat monarchs. None the less history of Rajasthan has been shaped and molded to fit one typical school of thought but it holds deep secrets and amazing stories of splendors of the past wrapped in various shades of mysteries stories. This paper is an attempt to try and unearth the mysteries of the land of princes. KEYWORDS: Rajput, Sesodias,Rajputana, Clans, Rana, Arabs, Akbar, Maratha Received 18 July, 2021; Revised: 01 August, 2021; Accepted 03 August, 2021 © The author(s) 2021. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org Chronicles of Rajputana: The Valour, Sacrifices and uprightness of Rajputs We are at a fork in the road in India that we have traveled for the past 150 years; and if we are to make true divination of the goal, whether on the right hand or the left, where our searching arrows are winged, nothing could be more useful to us than a close study of the character and history of those who have held supreme power over the country before us, - the waifs.(Sarkar: 1960) Only the Rajputs are discussed in this paper, which is based on Miss Gabrielle Festing's "From the Land of the Princes" and Colonel James Tod's "Annals of Rajasthan."

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.

  • Origin of the Rajputs : ______
    ORIGIN OF THE RAJPUTS : __________________________ There is no agreement among the scholars regarding the origin of the Rajputs. It has been opined by many scholars that the Rajputs are the descendants of foreign invaders like Sakas, Kushana, white- Hunas etc. All these foreigners, who permanently settled in India, were absorbed within the Hindu society and were accorded the status of the Kshatriyas. It was only afterwards that they claimed their lineage from the ancient Kshatriya families. The other view is that the Rajputs are the descendants of the ancient Brahamana or Kshatriya families and it is only because of certain circumstances that they have been called the Rajputs. Earliest and much debated opinion concerning the origin of the Rajputs is that all Rajput families were the descendants of the Gurjaras and the Gurjaras were of foreign origin. Therefore, all Rajput families were of foreign origin and only, later on, were placed among Indian Kshatriyas and were called the Rajputs. The adherents of this view argue that we find references to the Guijaras only after the 6th century when foreigners had penetrated in India. So, they were not of Indian origin but foreigners. Cunningham described them as the descendants of the Kushanas. A.M.T. Jackson described that one race called Khajara lived in Arminia in the 4th century. When the Hunas attacked India, Khajaras also entered India and both of them settled themselves here by the beginning of the 6th century. These Khajaras were called Gurjaras by the Indians. Kalhana has narrated the events of the reign of Gurjara king, Alkhana who ruled in Punjab in the 9th century.
