But it is also full of problems and interesting episodes. The culture of Rajasthan, though an integral part of the great Indian cultural world, has also its distinctive features.

We are sure that it will be found highly interesting and useful not only by the researchers, teachers and students but also by the general readers interested in the history of India in general and of Rajasthan in particular.
