The book is the product of extensive study of the kings, princely states and people of Rajasthan. The subject of the book is historic and delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the author’s point of view. About the Author: - Lieutenant-Colonel James Tod was an officer of the British East India Company and an Oriental scholar. He was educated in Scotland, whence his ancestors came, although precisely where he was schooled is unknown. Those ancestors included people who had fought with the King of Scots, Robert the Bruce; he took pride in this fact and had an acute sense of what he perceived to be the chivalric values of those times. As with many people of Scots descent who sought adventure and success at that time, Tod joined the British East India Company and initially spent some time studying at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He left England for India in 1799 and in doing so followed in the footsteps of various other members of his family, including his father, although Tod senior had not been in the Company but had instead owned an indigo plantation at Mirzapur. The young Tod journeyed as a cadet in the Bengal Army, appointment to which position was at the time reliant upon patronage. He was appointed lieutenant in May 1800 and in 1805 was able to arrange his posting as a member of the escort to a family friend who had been appointed as Envoy and Resident to a Sindian royal court. By 1813 he had achieved promotion to the rank of captain and was commanding the escort. The Title 'Annals Of Rajasthan Annals Of Mewar written/authored/edited by C. H.
