The Rajasthan history is splendid as
well as mystifying and this state has an opulent historical legacy and
is the kingdom of various rulers.
The history and origin of Rajasthan
dates back to 1200 AD and the historians claim Rajasthan to be
inhabited near 2500BC. The history of Rajasthan began with the Rajputs
controlling various parts.
Before the Rajputs, Rajasthan was
ruled by several republics and was a branch of the Mauryan Empire. The
other republics that dominated Rajasthan are the Arjunyas, Malavas,
Kushans, Yaudhyas, Satraps, Saka, Hunas and Guptas.
The Rajput supremacy was between the
8th and 12th century AD in the Indian history and the Pratihars ruled
this state and observed supremacy over Parmars, Chalukyas and Chauhans.

After 1200AD, India was under the power of
Muslim rulers and their centers of powers were Ajmer and Nagaur.
Ranthambhor was also ruled. The Rajasthan history during the modern
period was never united.
The entrance of Emperor Akbar created a
unity in the province of Rajasthan. But after 1707, the Mughals
declined and there was a political breakdown causing separation of
Mughal Empire.
The history of Rajasthan took a turn and
reached the hands of Marathas who conquered Rajasthan on the decline of
the Mughal Empire and in 1755 Ajmer was occupied. The initiation of
19th century marked the invasion of Pindaris.

Later, in 1817, the British concluded
treaties with all the Rajputana states and began ruling Rajasthan. The
post independence period Rajasthan comprised of 19 princely states.
The Rajasthan state was a
conglomeration of individual political entities. The administrative
systems were different in each place and the present Rajasthan state
was instituted in 1948 after a lengthy integration process.
This was the history of Rajasthan and
now the present Rajasthan history is that there are 32 districts, 105
sub-divisions, 222 towns in the state, 241 tehsils and 37889 villages
have been inhabited.
The history of Rajasthan will always
be glorious and this is the vibrant state in India that should be
visited by everyone.
