The Rajput States and British Paramountcy is a detailed and authoritative study of the political compulsions whit analyses which brought Rajasthan within the new imperial structure created by Lord Wellesley and Lord Hastings. Based on primary sources, mostly unpublished official records, it analyses the courses--political, economic, social--of the weakness of the Rajput States and brings into prominence Colonel James Tod's sympathetic review of their relations with the new paramount power. Among other special features of the study are a new approach to 'Rajput Feudalism' and a critical assessment of Tod's Annals.
