Description of work:
Short statement of activities: I am a member of Rajasthan History
Congress, and Indian History Congress. I have read three research
papers in three different seminars [Indian Histoty Congress at Bhopal
session 2001, Rajasthan History Congress at Jodhpur 2001, and National
Seminar on Pag Pagri (Rajasthani Turban) at Jodhpur 2001].
Research Interest: I am doing research on KHYAT LITERATURE. It is a
very important literary source of history not only for Rajasthan but
also for India of medieval period (15th to 19th century). Khyat is
basically a word of Sanskrit and in medieval period Rajasthani
historians used it for the purpose history History. My subject of
research is HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF KHYAT LITERATURE.
I have five years experience in reading Rajasthani Manuscripts under my
