Maharaj Devraj Singh
Indian History, there have been many versions of it, and many times, it has been manipulated. How well do people know about the history of the clan? Kachhwaha
There are many books available on the history of Rajasthan but the reality is somewhat blurred. This month, we are pleased to have Mahraj Devraj Singh, grandson of Jaipur's last ruling maharaja, Sawai Man Singh II, and his wife, Maharani Gayatri Devi on the cover. He has authored the book, Dulha Rai's Conquest of Dausa: The Early History of the Kachwahas.
It's indeed a pleasure to meet such a great personality and have an insightful conversation with him. We learned a lot about the forgotten history of Rajasthan and the Kachhwaha clan.
THE IDEA BEHIND THE BOOK
Behind every book, an idea is germinated. Maharaj Devraj Singh's dissatisfaction with reading about the founding history of Dhundhar, as Jaipur state was formerly known led to the idea of him writing this book. "There were several books which specifically described Dulha Rai as an 'Adventurer' who emerged without an explanation of his background, which is essentially denying his ancestry and that he was by chance able to found the principality which became the Dhundhar raj." "I knew in my heart that there must be much more to the story of Jaipur's inception and Dhula Rai's background, so I began to make serious research and inquiry into the topic."
