The TANJORE MAHRATTA PRINCIPALITY in Southern India The Land of the Chola; The Eden of the South

The Tanjore Mahratta Principality in Southern India: The Land of the Chola; The Eden of the South is a rare historical account penned by William Hickey that delves into the unique legacy of the Maratha rulers in the southern Indian region of Tanjore (Thanjavur). This scholarly work presents an insightful narrative into the political, social, and cultural developments of the principality during Maratha rule, offering glimpses into the administration, heritage, and influence of the dynasty in Tamil Nadu. Originally written as a historical documentation, this edition has been carefully reconstructed and reprinted by Salmon Books as part of their initiative to preserve and reintroduce landmark literature of historical significance. The book captures the fading legacy of an era that shaped South Indian politics and cultural identity, making it invaluable to historians, students, and enthusiasts of Indian history and Maratha heritage.
