Rajasthan
Rajasthan is the abode of Maharajas and has rich cultural heritage. It is the largest state of the country. With uncountable forts, palaces and monuments, the history of Rajasthan attracts several history buffs. Rajasthan was formerly known as Rajputana as it was ruled over by Rajputs. Rajput refers to 'son of rulers'. They emerged in the beginning of 8th century and established their kingdom. Around 1200 AD, Muslim invaders entered in Rajasthan. A number of states fall into the hands of Mughal rulers. Mewar was the most powerful and impressive state of Rajasthan at the offset of 13th century. Never before the reign of Akbar, Rajasthan was united as onepolitical unit. Mughal Empire started declining after 1707.
In 1755, Marathas conquered Ajmer and marked their entry into Rajasthan. In 1817-18,Rajasthan witnessed the rule of the British with the conclusion of alliance treaties with the British government. After independence, Rajputana (now Rajasthan) consisted of 18 princely states, 2 chieftains and the province of Ajmer-Merwara. After the integration of all the princely states, Rajputana came to be known as Rajasthan in the year 1956.
