Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v1.c18.31

v1.c18.31

The Kachhwāhas of Amber.—Amber is a branch of the once illustrious and ancient [137] Nishadha, now Narwar, which produced the ill-fated prince whose story³ is so interesting. Revolution and conquest compelled them to quit their ancestral abodes. Hindustan was then divided into no more than four great kingdoms. By Arabian⁴ travellers we have a confused picture of these States. But all the minor States, now existing in the west, arose about the period when the feudal system was approaching maturity in France and England.
