Descriptions in literature of premodern Indian cities have included
a diversity of peoples found in the streets and markets, evoking a
sense of wealth and abundance, and connection to regional and
global networks of trade and production. But they also raise
questions on how the residents lived together and negotiated their
differences: which differences mattered, when and to whom? How did
state actions and policies affect urban society and the lives of
various communities? How and why did conflict occur in urban
spaces? In considering these questions, this book explores the
histories of urban communities in the three cities of Ajmer, Nagaur
and Pushkar in Rajasthan, between the sixteenth and eighteenth
centuries. The focus of this study is on everyday life and
contextualising religious practices and conflicts by considering
patterns of patronage and looking at conflict more broadly within
society. Various archival documents are examined, from family and
institutional records to state registers, and the findings
demonstrate the complex and sometimes contradictory ways religion
intersected with the political, economic and social realms.
Negotiations and shared norms meant that many patronage patterns
and processes persisted, albeit in altered forms, and it was the
robustness of these structures that contributed to the resilience
of urban spaces and society in precolonial Rajasthan.
