Pandit Gaurishankar Hirachand Ojha was born on 15th September, 1863 in a Brahmin family in a small village called 'Rohida' situated on the border of Mewar and Sirohi states.
His early education took place in the village itself and later in 1877, at the age of just 14, he went to Mumbai for higher education, where in 1885 he passed the matriculation examination from 'Elphinstone High School'.
In 1888 AD, Ojha ji had reached Udaipur. Kaviraj Shyamaldas was so impressed by him that he made him an assistant minister in his history office, which gave him the opportunity to visit different historical places of Mewar and collect historical material.
He was made the head of the Library and Museum of Victoria Hall, Udaipur. There he got an opportunity to collect historical materials like inscriptions, coins, idols etc. for the Department of Archaeology.
While living here, Ojha ji gained special fame in the world of archaeology by writing a book named 'Bhartiya Prachin Lipimala' (1894 AD).
On coming in contact with Lord Curzon, being impressed by the scholarship of Ojhaji, Curzon made him the president of the museum in Ajmer and while living there, he wrote 'History of Sirohi State' in the year 1911.
The History of Rajputana series was started in the year 1926 and over a period of fifteen years the histories of Udaipur (Mewar), Jodhpur, Bikaner, Dungarpur, Banswara and Pratapgarh were published.
Inscriptions, coins, handwritten Khyat, communiqués, Rao-Bhats Bhahiye, poetry of Rajasthani and Sanskrit, texts of Gujarati and Marathi languages, translation of Persian texts and descriptions of foreign travellers have been the basis of Ojha ji's history writing.

Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.
Charles Darwin's early education took place in a Christian missionary school.
In 1825, at the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the Medical University of Edinburgh.
After Edinburgh University, Darwin was admitted to Christ College in 1827 AD so that he could complete further medical studies.

Charles Darwin was of the opinion that nature develops itself through gradual change.
This theory called evolution became the foundation of modern biology.
