01 Introduction

Stop 0 - Curator's Welcome

At the exhibition, viewers get a glimpse of the physical vestiges of the lifestyle of royal personages of Rajasthan - from turbans and jewelled trinkets to a silver Rolls Royce. It may seem like the Rajputs, or sons of kings, led a life of luxury. But who were they? And what was real life like for them? And how did the figure of the Rajput evolve from the 19th century into the present day? Listen to find out.

This episode features: Karni Singh Jasol, Director of the Mehrangarh Museum Trust; Barbara Ramusack,  Charles Phelps Taft Professor of History Emerita, University of Cincinnati; Ritu Birla, Associate Professor of History, University of Toronto.

Deuxième arrêt - L’étrange et le mort-vivant

While courtly treasures such as jewelry, ornate weapons, and miniature paintings tend to reflect the opulent lifestyle of the Rajpur royals, they also are a testament to the people who made the and cared for them. In all likelihood, these individuals would have belonged to either a lower or an untouchable caste. Their stories are often missing from royal narratives and one has to look on the margins of paintings or imagine their invisible labour when looking at a beautiful artifact in order to see the myriad roles that made the royal lifestyle possible. This episode puts a focus on caste, and shines a light on some of these untold histories. 

This episode features: Chinnaiah Jangam, Associate Professor, Dalit Studies and Modern South Asian History, Carleton University; and Arun Mukherjee, Professor of English (retired), York University.
