It is to the Rajputs, therefore, that the ultimate credit is due, not a small credit for a race of warriors, who in the pause of arms found time to devote to literary pursuits. May be, their action was inspired by a desire to gratify national vanity, as the subject of this literature was principally furnished by their own military exploits; but to show that they were not devoid of a literary taste, examples can be quoted of warrior kings who were good judges of poetry, as also excellent composers. Theirs was, therefore, an intelligent maecenatism. It is superfluous to add that the fact that this literature is confined to a description of the life and history of the Rajputs, does not diminish its importance nor impair its universal character, as during the times in question, the Rajputs were the principal ruling race and the only makers of history.
This vast literature falls naturally into two sections: Bardic poems and prose chronicles. The former, which are older in origin and more extensive, are the products of the Bards, and they have both a literary and an historical interest; whereas, the latter are the products of different classes of people and their interest is only historical, If under the term "bardic poems we comprehend all kinds of bardic poetry, we have here a literature which includes works ranging from a single couplet to poems of eight to ten thousand verses.
text: 1998 HELMUT K. ANHEIER et. al. (ed): Private Funds, Public Purpose Philanthropic Foundations in International Perspective. p. 186. pub. Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers →ISBN
In a way, the 1980s can be interpreted as a reversal of long-standing governmental attitudes toward foundations, as the 1987 law and subsequent initiatives intended to publicly encourage a revival of "mécénat" (i.e., maecenatism or patronage), especially in the field of arts and culture. Nevertheless, these recent legislative activities still place relatively heavy financial and regulatory restrictions on donors and foundations.
text: Looking at the history of the arts, we can see that centuries of Maecenatism, sponsorship and branding have made the use of art as decoration or embellishment the most obvious and evident practice within organisational art.
