A short history of Gondal

Before Independence, Gondal was a small state with a large story. These pages remember a kingdom. Harikrishna Lalshankar Daves A Short History of Gondal offers a vivid, grounded account of the Gondal princely state at the edge of empire, tracing its origins, its line of Gondal state rulers, and its place within the shifting political currents of India. Written as a focused local history monograph, it opens a window onto Kathiawar Gujarat history, colonial-era Gujarat, and the wider world of the princely states of India. Clear, compact and carefully observed, it speaks both to readers curious about Indian regional history and to those seeking to understand the everyday realities behind high-level political history in India. For students of the history of Gujarat, as well as researchers in South Asian studies, this volume serves as a trustworthy Gondal history reference book and a valuable reference for historians working with primary regional sources. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collectors item and a cultural treasure. A Short History of Gondal stands as an essential history of Gujarat book, prepared with modern readers in mind yet preserving the voice of its time, ideal for Gujarat history students, serious libraries and discerning collectors alike.
