Political Socio-Economic and Cultural History of Rajasthan

Rajasthan is the land of heroes and heroins who have inspired generation after generation of Indians with their valour and secrifice in defence of freedom for their mother land.

Rajasthan is proud of its cultural heritage. It has been the cradle of civilisations. Its temples, its forts and its palaces are architectural wonders. It is known for fine art, gem and jew- ellary and handicrafts. Its sons have dazzled the Indian industry with their extra-ordinary entreprenual skills for the last several decades.

And yet Rajasthan is one of the most backward and the poorest regi- ons in the country. Its per capita income is far below the national ave- rage. It is the most Illiterate State in India. Its infra-structure is too weak to withstand the pressure of modern age Why? The reader may, perhaps, find answers to these questions in this facinating book which deals with political, cultural and socio-economic developments which took place in the region from time to time.
