In the present volume, for the first time, a connected history of the
Chauhans, from their beginnings in Bhrgukachchha in eight century A.D. to
the time of Ala-ud-din Khalji and Hammira in the fourteenth century has
been presented. The author has shown that the Agnikula myth goes back to
the Ramayana and is, in fact, traditional to Aryan Hindus. He also
establishes conclusively that contrary to the common belief that India fell
an easy prey to Muslim invaders, and the resistance of the Hindu rulers
broke down after the defeat of Prthviraja, the descendants of the Chauhan
Emperor, even after they lost Ajmer, continued to fight with determination
for two hundred years.
Considerable new light is also thrown on the relations between the
Chaulukya Empire and the Chauhans of Sakambhari, especially during the
reigns of Siddharaja and Kumarapala. A valuable portion of the book is
devoted to the social and economic condition of the Chauhan territory
during the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The enumeration and
identification of the towns and villages in the country collected from the
literature of the time is especially important. The names of the coins in
use, the weights and measures will also be found very useful.
