Jodhpur
-: Jodhpur State also historically known as the Kingdom of Marwar. It was a
princely state in the Marwar region from 1226 to 1949. Its capital was the city
of Jodhpur since 1450.
The
Rathore rulers of the Indian princely state of Jodhpur were of an ancient
dynasty established in the 8th century. However, the dynasty's fortunes were
made by Rao Jodha, first of the rulers of the Rathore dynasty in Jodhpur in
1459.
The
kingdom was annexed by the Mughal Empire after the death of Chandrasen Rathore.
It remained under direct Mughal control until Udai Singh was restored to the
throne as a vassal and given the title of Raja. During the late 17th century it
was under the strict control of the Emperor Aurangzeb, but the ruling house of
Rathore was allowed to remain semi-autonomous in their territory. During this
time Durgadas Rathore struggled to preserve the rathore dynasty and freed
Marwar from the Mughal Empire after 25 years of war. The British had no role in
the state's affairs until the 1830s, when the Raja at that time, Man Singh,
entered into a subsidiary alliance, after which the Rajas of Marwar (or
Jodhpur) continued as rulers of a princely state.
