Book Description
Excerpt from Gazetteer of Ulwur The present territory of the Ulwur State, which is 3024 square miles in extent, and contains a population of about 800,000, is composed of several tracts called the Raht, the Wal, portions of Narukhand or the Naruka country, of the Rajawat country, and of Mewat. It lies S. W. of Dehli, its nearest point being about thirty-five miles distant from that city. The Raht lies on the north-west border. It is the country of Chauhan Rajputs, the head of whom claims to be the living representative of the famous Pirthwi Raj, king of Dehli, who fell in battle with the invading Musalmans. The Wal is on the western border, and is occupied chiefly by Rajputs of the Shekhawat clan, which is so important in the adjoining State of Jaipur. The Rajawat country, in the south-west, was the territory of the once powerful Rajawat Rajputs of Jaipur. Narukhand, in the south-east, was held by the Naruka Rajputs. More regarding these small tracts will be found under "Districts," and a general description of the State at the beginning of Part II. The city of Ulwur, which is situated near the centre of the State, is in Mewat, of which it is now the largest and most important town. More than half the territory of the State, too, is in Mewat. The famous hills and strongholds of Mewat are in the part now included within the limits of Ulwur. In that portion, too, has usually been for many centuries the seat of its Government. An historical sketch of Ulwur must, then, begin with some notice of this tract. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A reassessment of conventional South Asian historiography from a subaltern perspective and a unique look at how conceptions of history and community clash. This incisive study explores the Meo community through their oral literature, revealing sophisticated modes of collective memory and self-government while telling a story that radically diverges from most accepted Indian histories.
