Rajput clans
emerged and held their sway over different parts of Rajasthan from about 700
AD. Before that, Rajasthan was a part of several republics. It was a part of
the Mauryan Empire. Other major republics that dominated this region include
Malavas, Arjunyas, Yaudhyas, Kushans, Saka Satraps, Guptas and Hunas. The
Rajput clans ascendancy in Indian history was during the period from the
eighth to the twelfth century AD. The Pratihars ruled Rajasthan and most of
northern India during 750-1000 AD. Between 1000-1200 AD, Rajasthan witnessed
the struggle for supremacy between Chalukyas, Parmars and Chauhans. Around
1200 AD a part of Rajasthan came under Muslim rulers. The principal centers
of their powers were Nagaur and Ajmer. Ranthanbhor was also under their
suzerainty. At the beginning of the 13th century AD, the most prominent and
powerful state of Rajasthan was Mewar. Rajasthan had never been united
politically until its domination by Mughal Emperor - Akbar. Akbar created a
unified province of Rajasthan. Mughal power started to decline after 1707.
The political disintegration of Rajasthan was caused by the dismemberment of
the Mughal Empire. The Marathas penetrated Rajasthan upon the decline of the
Mughal Empire. In 1755 they occupied Ajmer. The beginning of the 19th
Century was marked by the onslaught of the Pindaris. In 1817-18 the British
Government concluded treaties of alliance with almost all the states of
Rajputana. Thus began the British rule over Rajasthan, then called Rajputana.
