Abstract

Sardar Shahr, situated in Churu district of Northern Rajasthan, is at present a tehsil. This whole area has witnessed various phases of historical significance. According to geologist Karter, ‘The semi-arid area of western India must have once been a surface of an expanse of the sea extending to the Aravali hills.’ This area, it is believed by geologists, was once a Tethis ocean that over a period of time was reduced to a desert owing to some geographical activities. Colonel James Todd has written in this regard, ‘The western stretch of the desert was too difficult to cross. The passers-by would die of thirst and starvation. In fact it was a valley of death.'
