History of the Qaraunah Turks in India c14.s1.31

c14.s1.31

Tod never meant his work to be treated as a history of Rajasthan. He only offered to use his own words ‘a copious collection of materials for the future historians.’ He is therefore an original authority for the Rajput period. He is pro-Rajput in his sympathies, but that does not detract from the merit of his monumental work. His dates and facts are sometimes wrong and we must exercise caution in dealing with them. There are several editions of Tod but I have used Crooke’s edition which contains useful explanatory notes.
