"The book embodies the idea that Rajasthans past and hence its present cannot be adequately comprehended from the limited perspective of any single academic discipline or approach. Instead, it celebrates the notion that the regions past is subject to many constructions, each of which can contribute to a fuller understanding of its present-day cultural and social diversity.
