History
Rajasthan was ruled by the Rajputs since 700 AD. Rajasthan
was an integral part of the Mauryan Empire. However
around 1200 AD a portion of Rajasthan was taken over
by Muslim rulers during which the time the most powerful
part of Rajasthan or Rajputana as it was called, was
Mewar. Until the reign of Akbar, Rajasthan had never
been politically united. The unity did not remain for
long as Mughal power began to decline 1707 onwards which
led to the penetration of the Marathas in Ajmer. With
the coming of the British the fate of Rajasthan underwent
a severe change. Around 1817, the British took over
Rajasthan. Post independence, erstwhile Rajputana was
divided into 32 districts, 105 sub divisions, 241 tehsils
and some small towns and villages.
