One Princess. Two Kings. Three Kingdoms. Who will win both the land and the love? Kishengarh, 1660: A reckless mistake by Princess Charumati leads to a marriage proposal by the cruel Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. She has no choice but to turn to Rana Raj Singh, the Rajput ruler of Mewar. The great-great-grandson of Maharana Pratap, he is a true Rajput! He would never ignore a woman's plea for help— especially one he loves with all his heart. But the Rana knows that Aurangzeb is not an enemy to be taken lightly—he has the resources of the Mughal empire at his disposal and revenge to fuel his actions. How will the brave Rajput ruler keep his promise to the Princess? The Mewar Conspiracy is a historical account of the epic saga of how the Rajputs defeated Aurangzeb.

Winner of the 2009 Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy Book Prize, sponsored by the Association for Asian Studies The medieval Rajput queen Padmini - believed to have been pursued by Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi - has been the focus of numerous South Asian narratives, ranging from a Sufi mystical romance in the sixteenth century to nationalist histories in the late nineteenth century. The Many Lives of a Rajput Queen explores how early modern regional elites, caste groups, and mystical and monastic communities shaped their distinctive versions of the past through the repeated refashioning of the legend of Padmini. Ramya Sreenivasan investigates these legends and traces their subsequent appropriation by colonial administrators and nationalist intellectuals, for varying different political ends. Using Padmini as a means of illustrating the power of gender norms in constructing heroic memory, she shows how such narratives about virtuous women changed as they circulated across particular communities in South Asia between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book will interest historians of memory, gender, community, culture, and historywriting in South Asia. Illustrating how enduring legends emerged out of particular precolonial repositories of "tradition," the book also addresses the nature of colonial transitions and precolonial historical consciousness.

James Tod s Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan was crucial in forming the modern image of the R jp t, a princely martial caste resident in India s northwest desert. This book explores the relationships between the political power of the British imperial state, the construction of historical memories in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the uses of these constructions by European writers and Indian nationalist elites. The case of the Rajputs demonstrates how imperial histories reflected Indian social processes and pre-colonial forms of knowledge, interpreted India for the world outside and for Indians themselves. This book explores the multiple discourses within Tod s Rajasthan, and European Orientalism, to show how intricately coded the British Empire was and, historically, remains.
