Descripción

About The Book : In that book he laid open from almost every known source, including the classics of Hindustan, local bards and tradition, a mine of information and romance regarding his beloved Rajputs, whom he identified as connected with "the Getic nations described by Herodotus " and the Scandinavian Asi and German tribes. " The heroes of odin," he writes," never relished a cup of mead more than the Rajpoot his madhva and the bards of Scandinavia and Rajwarra are alike eloquent in the praise of the bowl." Again: " Even in the heaven of Indra, the Hindoo warrior's paradise, akin to Valhalla, the Rajpoot has his cup which is served by the Apsara, the twin sister of the celestial Hebe of Scania." "Rajasthan," he explains," is the collective and classical denomination of that portion of India which is the abode of (Rajpoot) princes. In the familiar dialect of these countries it is termed Rajwarra but by the more refined Raet'hana, corrupted to Rajpootana, the common designation among the British to denote the Rajpoot principalities."
