Description
This historical narrative of Thar Desert reflects the deep and abiding love for nature. The infectious enthusiasm and lucidity for this work came from the constant dismay that was felt while teaching environmental history to the post graduate students, who were always agast to hear about the significant countributions of the desert in our lives. They were equally estonished to know about the political and social life in the intence hot and dry desert of Thar. The desert has always been understood as an useless space that is redundant of economic activities. So, this historical work also highlights the economic plethora of the Thar desert.The rich cultural components like religioues cults, the environmentalist of desert-Bisnois, nomads, language, the hero deities, the food habits are essential to understand the acquaintance of the residents withe the region inhabited by them. The essence of community life in the environmently inhospitable region like Thar desert has always been highlighted with the evidencs to propose the fact Prakrit rakshtai rakshte!
