Centred on three Rajput-led kingdoms during the transition to British rule (c. 1790-1840) and their interconnected histories, it demonstrates how border making practices engendered a modern reading of 'tradition' that informs communal identities to date. By revising the history of these mountain kings on the basis of extensive archival, textual, and ethnographic research, it offers an alternative to popular and scholarly discourses that grew with the rise of colonial knowledge. This revision ultimately points to the important contribution of borderland spaces to the fabrication of group identities.Asian borderlands.Raiput (Indic people)Himalya MountainsIndiaHistoryBritish occupation, 1765-1947Raiput (Indic people)301Moran Arik1976-1025543Harris Tina1776328Schendel Willem1776329MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910321960303321Kingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland4293390UNINA
