Excerpt from The Students' History of Rajpootana: Being an Account of the Princes of Rajpootana From the Earlist Ages to the Modern Times
India has undergone various stages of its political his tory, which furnish useful subjects of study to the bistori an and the statesman. The first stage was a peaceful period when the Indian nation was governed by its own Maha rajas.

Among the records of the Rajpoot princes are to be found deed: which undoubtedly reflect glory and renown to the actors and to the land they dwelt upon, - deeds of men and women, of princes and princesses, of heroes and heroines, proving without a shadow of doubt that they belonged to the most chivalrous race that ever lived upon the surface of this habitable world, - deeds which clearly show that they knew not double dealing in their transactions with others or faithlessness to the family-bond with which they were bound for life.
