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. 410 0$aAsian borderlands. 606 $aRaiput (Indic people)$zHimalya Mountains 607 $aIndia$xHistory$yBritish occupation, 1765-1947 610 $aEarly Colonial Encounter, Borderlands, Himalaya, Rajput, Kingship, State Formation. 615 0$aRaiput (Indic people) 676 $a301 700 $aMoran$b Arik$f1976-$01025543 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309075103316 996 $aKingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland$92438663 997 $aUNISA
