But, it is generally agreed that modern Rajasthani literature began with the works of Suryamal Misana.<ref name="brittanica">{{Britannica|556016|South Asian arts - Rajasthani}}</ref> His most important works are the Vansa Bhaskara and the Vir Satsai. The Vans Bhaskar contains accounts of the [[Rajput]] princes who ruled in what was then [[Rajputana]] (at present the state of [[Rajasthan]]), during the lifetime of the poet (1872–1952). The Vir Satsai is a collection of hundreds of couplets.<br />
<br />
Medieval Rajasthani literature is mostly poetry only and it is more about the heroic poetry mentioning of the great kings and fighters of the Rajasthan. as said by [[Rabindra Nath Tagore]] once, "The heroic sentiment which is the essence of every song and couplet of a Rajasthani is peculiar emotion of its own of which, however, the whole country may be proud".{{citation needed|date=September 2011}}<br />

Early Rajasthani literature is created by mostly [[Charans]]. Earlier [[Rajasthani language|Rajasthani]] was known as Charani or [[Dingal]], which was close to [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]].<br />
