JODHPUR (MARWAR) 17 GUN SALUTE STATE
Jodhpur or Marwar state is formerly Western Rajputana States Agency merged into Rajasthan States. Area of the state was 93,424 Sq. Km with a population of 2,125,000 in 1931. Privy purse of the state at the time of accession in to independent India on 7 April 1949 was Rs.1,750,000.
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, by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. 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.
