Nainsi was the minister of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Marwar in the seventeenth century, and besides the Nainsi Ri Khyat he compiled this district by district record of the parganas of Marwar, with details of villages, revenue and families, which is why he is called the Abul Fazl of Rajasthan…

He served the Bundi court in the nineteenth century and wrote the Vansh Bhaskar, a long chronicle of the Hada rulers in verse, and the Veer Satsai, seven hundred couplets of martial feeling that were widely recited in the period of the revolt of 1857.

The correct answer is A, Chand Bardai, who is remembered as the court poet of Prithviraj Chauhan and the author of the Prithviraj Raso, the long martial epic that made the Rasau form famous, although historians treat many of its details and dates with caution because the text grew by…

The correct answer is B, Prithviraj Rathore, a prince of the Bikaner house known in tradition as Peethal, who told the story of Krishna and Rukmini in Dingal verse; the poem is counted among the finest works in the language and is the one most often cited as a Dingal…

Dingal is the literary style built on Marwari, and the Charans used it for heroic verse on battle, honour and self sacrifice, sung in a loud rolling metre; the Veli Krisan Rukmani Ri of Prithviraj Rathore is a celebrated example.

It is the speech of Jodhpur, Pali, Nagaur, Barmer and Jalore, that is of the largest region of the state, and the Dingal poetry of the Charan poets was composed in it; its speakers also carried it across India with the trading communities of Marwar.

These four districts of the south east formed the Hada Chauhan country, from which the region takes the name Hadoti and the dialect its name Hadoti or Harauti.

The tract formed by these two districts in the far south of Rajasthan is called Wagad, and the Bhil population there speaks Wagdi, which carries features of both Rajasthani and Gujarati because of its position on the border.

In his Linguistic Survey of India he used the name Rajasthani in 1912 for the group of speeches of this region and classified its dialects, replacing older names such as Maru Bhasha and Maru Gurjar.

Article 13(1) makes a pre-Constitution law void only to the extent of its inconsistency with the Fundamental Rights, so the Supreme Court in Bhikaji Narain Dhakras, 1955, held that such a law is not erased but merely eclipsed, staying unenforceable until the shadow is lifted, after which it revives.

An eleven judge bench held by six to five that Parliament cannot abridge Fundamental Rights by amendment, but the Court did not want to unsettle the land reform amendments already acted upon, so it declared that its ruling would operate only for the future.

A bench of thirteen judges held by a majority of seven to six that Parliament may amend any part of the Constitution under Article 368 but cannot destroy or damage its basic structure or essential features.

Clause (1) says that if a State law is repugnant to a law made by Parliament on a Concurrent subject, the parliamentary law prevails and the State law is void to the extent of the repugnancy.

The Bengal Money Lenders Act of 1940 limited the interest and the amount recoverable by money lenders, a provincial subject, but it also affected promissory notes, which belonged to the central list.

That clause says that no law made by Parliament shall be deemed invalid on the ground that it would have extra-territorial operation, and the courts have built on it the rule that a State law too may apply to an object or person outside the State if there is a…

The petitioner had settled his tax liability under a provision later found to violate Article 14, and it was argued that by agreeing to the settlement he had waived his right to equality.

The doctrine means that a legislature cannot do by an indirect route what the Constitution forbids it to do directly; if it has no competence over a subject, no clever drafting can give it that competence.

In that case a 1947 motor vehicles law of Central Provinces and Berar had become unenforceable because it clashed with the freedom of trade under Article 19(1)(g).
