Ramusack B.N. The New Cambridge History of India, Volume 3, Part 6: The Indian Princes and their States
Cambridge University Press, 2004. - 324 pp.

Barbara Ramusack describes the pre-colonial origins of the Indian princes, frequently portrayed as synonymous with oriental luxury, and how they adapted their public activities and personal lifestyles to survive as political leaders and cultural icons. Their collaboration enabled the British to gove India with relatively limited manpower from the late 1790s to 1947. The book is intended for students of colonial history and visitors to the princely states.
