| Research Abstract |
This research explores changing state system of the regional dynasties in the 10th- 16th-century Rajasthan and Gujarat, mainly focusing on change of the official languages used in copper-plate royal charters from Sanskrit to local languages in the period of vernacularisation. As a result, we tentatively conclude that while the regional powers emerging from peripheral areas in the 10th-13th centuries had not necessarily formed regional state but rather aimed at conquering the whole India as a chakravartin, the kingdoms emerging from the late 14th century onwards adopted local languages as their official languages and apparently intended to form regional state rooting in the vernacular culture. This vernacularisation can explain the political centralisation of the Rajput kingdoms and the fortification of their capital cities, both of which progressed from the 16th or the 17th century onwards in Rajasthan.
