No one can undertake with a light heart,But the leading part
which the Rajputs and Charans have taken hand to hand in the
great wars,the summoning of one of their princes to a seat at
the Imperial Conference, the certainty that as the result of the present
cataclysm they will be entitled to a larger share in the administration of India.
The endeavour to draw a faithful picture of State, the ruling principle
of which is the paternity of the Sovereign. That this patriarchal form is the best suited
to the genius of the people may be
presumed from its durability, which war, famine, and anarchy have failed to destroy.
The throne and the subordinates has always been the watchword and rallying-point of both
patriots.The prayers were always it may continue so, and that neither the love of conquest, nor false views
of policy, may tempt to subvert the independence of the States,
some of which have braved the storms of more than ten centuries.
It never did ,be deemed presumptuous in the Analist of these
gallant and long-oppressed races thus to solicit for them a
full measure of Your Majesty's gracious patronage ; in return for
which, the Rajputs,
"saffron robe," emblematic of death or victory, under the banner of that making Your Majesty's enemies
their own, would glory in assuming the chivalry of which
Your Majesty is the head.That Your Majesty's throne may ever be surrounded by chiefs who will act up to
the principles of fealty maintained at all hazards by the Rajput,is the heartfelt aspiration.
