About the Book
Rajasthan has the worlds richest
lineage of forts. This books bracing
narrative captures this heritage with
ramparts and bastions resonating with
the song and verse of Rajasthan across
slope and sand, rock and river.
The easy-to-read book comes from
home-schooling and history trails
that took the authors to the forts,
enabling a blend of pen and camera for
a well-rounded portrayal. The book,
second in the series after The Forts
of Bundelkhand, flags the space for
amateur history-enthusiasts to invigorate
understanding of how the past influences
the present.
The charisma of Rajasthans forts has
led to this book. It acknowledges the
lofty standing of these history-citadels as
a pivotal reference point for promoting
heritage protection and awareness of
sites that are the building blocks of
local, regional and national identity.
Research methodology tools help go
beyond the annals-and-antiquities
approach. The Forts of Rajasthan
recognizes the scope for refurbishing
insights and revisiting assumptions.
