Idea of Rajasthan: Explorations in Regional Identity

The essays in this pioneering two-volume work explore some of the many facets of custom, culture, and myth in the area of northwestern India known as Rajasthan. The first volume, Constructions, look at how Rajasthanis and outsiders have created and defined Rajasthan. The second volume, Institution, analyses structures, adaptations, arrangements, and ways of life and thought that have characterized and shaped the lives of Rajasthanis.
