According to the Lonely Planet India 2005, "Today Rajasthan remains dominated by its past, a feudal state with a largely rural population. The land is harsh and the frequent droughts make scratching a living harder and harder. The pre-eminence and extravagance of the Rajput princes, that created such a beguiling, mythological state, with so much to offer the visitor, has also contributed to Rajasthan's poverty and lack of advancement – traveling between here and Delhi is like traveling back in time."
