Rajasthan is a state know for its great Rular and colourful culture. According to the Hindu Mythology, the Rajputs of Rajasthan were the descendants of the Kshatriyas or warriors of Vedic India. The emergence of the Rajput warrior clans was in the 6th and 7th centuries. Another Classes which rules in rajasthan were Jat, famous for their courage and ruling power in odd conditions and last one were Meena.
Early History
Rajasthan is the north-western region of India, and has remain independent from the great empires. Buddhism failed to make substantial inroad here; the Mauryan empire (321-184 BC), whose most renowned emperor, Ashoka, Converted to Buddhism in 261 BC, had minimal impact in Rajasthan, However, there are Buddhist caves and stupas (Buddhist Shrines) at Jhalawar, in Southern Rajasthan.
Emergence of the Rajputs
The fall of the Gupta Empire, which held dominance in northern India for nearly 300 years until the early 5th Century, was followed by a period of instability as various local chieftains sought to gain supremacy. Power rose and fell in northern India. Stability was only restored with the emergence of the Gurjara Partiharas, the earliest of the Rajput (from 'Rajputra', or Sons of Princes) dynasties which were later to hold the balance of power throughout Rajasthan. Whatever their actual origins, the Rajputs have evolved a complex mythological genealogy.
Rise of Jat Power
In 1699, the Jat people of the Mathura, Bharatpur and Dholpur rebelled against the powerful Mugal Rulars. the Jat resistance resumed, organized under the leadership of Churaman (1695–1721). Churaman's nephew, Badan Singh (1722–1756), established a kingdom centered at Deeg, from which he extended his rule over Bharatpur, Dholpur, Agra and Mathura. Maharaja Surajmal from Bharatpur is the main Rular from Jat Community.
Meenas as Rular
Originally Meenas were a ruling cast, and were ruler of Matsya former name of Rajasthan but their slow downfall began with the assimilation with scythian and was completed when the British government declared them a “Criminal Tribe”. This very action was taken to support their alliance with Rajput kingdom then in Rajasthan, and Meenas were still in war with Rajputs, carrying out guerilla attachs to retain their lost kingdoms at Jaipur and Dausa. Curretly Meenas play a subsidary role in rajasthan.
Later British comes and all rajasthan scattered into small parts and after independence a new Rajasthan emerge as a State of India.
