The Black Hills: Kutch in History and Legend by Rushbrook Williams is a rich and evocative exploration of the unique history, culture, and oral traditions of the princely state of Kutch. Drawing on over thirty years of firsthand research and the invaluable assistance of royal bards and the ruling family, the author delves into tales of warriors, saints, monastic orders, and the legendary Jakhs—mystical figures believed to have arrived from the West. Blending historical study with folklore, the book offers a rare and vivid portrait of a once-isolated region as it transitioned into modern India.
