After the fall of Gupta empire in early 5th century instability prevailed all
over northern India till the emergence of Gurjara Partiharas supposed to be
the earliest Rajputs. Warriors by class, during the Muslim invasion in India,
pushing back the enemies and subjugating the local tribes live the Bhils and
the Mers they wrote history of Rajasthan during 6th and 7th century. Questionable
is their actual origin yet, the three main branches namely the Suryavansi (Race
of Sun), the Induvansi (Race of moon) and the Agnikula (Fire born) the Rajputs
consist of 36 clans and stem out of mythological genealogy.
Rajasthan the land of Kings had dynasties in Chauhans, Sisodias, Kachhwahas, Rathores and Bhattis etc. The social of Suryavansi race of 7th century reigned over Mewar comprising of Udaipur and Chittorgarh while the Chauhans of Agnikula race known as great warriors ruled over vast stretch of land starting from Jaipur to Bundi, Ajmer and Shekhawati. The Kachhawahas originally from Gwalior ruled over Jaipur and Amber in 12th century. The Rathores traveled from Kanauj initially settled at Pali (new Jodhpur) and in 1381 moved to Mandore ruling over Marwar. The Bhattis driven from their mainland in Punjab by the Turks steeled in Jaisalmar making if as desert kingdoms in 1156 A.D. The invasion of Arabs in 713 over Pratihara Empire and Rathores, emerging threats of Turks in Mahmud of Ghazni in 1001 AD and subjugation of princely states by Mohammad of Ghori in 12th century wrote the warrior legacy of the Rajputs in Indian history. The fall of Ramthambhore and chittor during 1297-1303 further subdued the Rajputs. However, Rajasthan had ups and downs in power game with the Mughals by 16th century supremacy of Mewar under Rana Sangram Singh fell into the hands of mighty Babur. The victory of Maldeo of Mawar over Shershah did not lost long. Akbar the grace of the Mughal Empire subdued the clans with strategic alliances except Mewar. The supremacy of the Mughals declared with Aurangzeb. The fights with the Marathas and subsequent entry of the British installed the British ascendancy over the princely states.
India attained independence in 1947. By 1948, Rajasthan had only south-eastern
states of Rajputna, Mewar as its capital while Jaipur and the desert kingdoms
of Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaisalmar remaining outside joined India in 1949 along
with other kingdoms of Bharatpur, Alwar, Karnali, Dholpur to make present Rajstan.Rajstan
