The book Torn by internal dissensions, Rajasthan, once a land of heroism and statesmanship, presented a dark and dismal picture in the Eighteenth century. Her internal bankruptey paved the way for external aggressions particularly of the Marathas, causing immense woes for her. But the Maratha leaders like the Sindhias and Holkars themselves fell out in rivalry in their own game of exploiting Rajasthan. The story of their bitter rivalries in this connection has been narrated in details in the book. The book presents the various aspects and stages of This rivalry, i.e. its genesis, growth, intensification and its final blazing, in a lucid and literary manner. It also seeks to analyse the British role in fomenting and fanning their rivalry for their own selfish interests, with disastrous effects on the Maratha Confederacy leading to its ultimate collapse. The book, based on original sources, including unpublished records in the Rajastahn State Archives, the unpublished English records in the National Archives, New Delhi, and the original records in Marathi, contains a good deal of heitherto unpublished information on the subject. The book is an important reference work for students of both the Maratha and Rajput History.
