The Rajputs: A Fighting Race

This book traces the history of Rajput’s who have been regarded as great fighters. This present volume is offered to the British people to stimulate its interest in India and her people, specially in the ruling class of Indian society. The author who himself is a Rajput believes that inspite of their heroics, their bravery and their patriotism not much has been written about them and he has attempted to give some idea of that inviolable principle, the milestone of the social fabric of Hinduism, which alive now as ever, underlies the loyalty and patriotism illustrated today in a manner unparalleled in history of these hereditary warriors of India. That principle is ‘Swami Dharma’, a Sanskrit word implying the duties of fidelity and gratitude, which has no exact equivalent in any other language. This book is accompanied by some beautiful photographs of the Rulers which takes the reader back to glorious era of Rajputs.
