 FOREWORD
ARVIND SINGH MEWARUdaipur, January 2001
The lineage
of Mewar traces the origin of the Mewar Dynasty from Surya (Sun).
As one of the oldest serving dynasties, it traces its roots to Guhil (Guhaditya)
in A.D. ca.569. Historically speaking the ancestry of the House of Mewar
originates from the great warrior, Bappa Rawal, who was entrusted with
the right to administer and function as Trustee of the State of Mewar by
his Guru, Harit Rishi in A.D. 734. The centuries, which passed from then
on, have seen many turbulent years of defensive struggle in the battlefield
to protect the honour os the State of Mewar by successive rulers.
I must
compliment Mr. Ian Austin and Thakur Nahar Singh Jasol on their courage
to undertake the enormous task of putting together the facts and figures
on this long and most cherished history of the House of Mewar. The Mewar
Encyclopaedia is indeed the most authentic information finder on the history
of the Mewar Dynasty.
