Our study examines the wages of artisans and labourers during the medieval period of India with special reference to 17th-18th century Western Rajasthan. During the study period, the artisans were paid in the form of naqd (cash), jinsi (kind), and hawalgi (advance). The study under review also reveals the value of currency. Our research compares the purchasing power of wages by showing the prices of basic commodities.
