In a fascinating 2003 book, Norbert Peabody analyses histories written in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to understand the shifts in royal power which took place in Rajasthan. He concludes that different societies establish different co-ordinates to interpret their past, and that these co-ordinates will determine social and political outcomes.
