Kingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland
"By challenging common perceptions regarding Pahari Rajput tradition, this book opens new avenues to explore intricate connections and divisions within the dynastic histories in the Himalayan borderland. [...] Using both oral and written accounts to document Rajput historiography in the Himalayas, the book offers a novel method to explore the multifarious constitution of identities in the region. The book is likely to stimulate further lines of scholarly inquiry, and will be of immense interest for historians, anthropologists and scholars of Himalayan and South Asian studies."
