<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Rajasthan was earlier called Rajputana (state of Rajputs) after the ruling class of Rajputs. Rajput clans rose to prominence in the 6th century, establishing kingdoms in Rajasthan and across northern India. The Rajputs resisted Muslim incursions into India, although a number of Rajput states became tributaries to the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire during those empires' peak of expansion. As these empires weakened, the Rajputs reasserted their independence. With the decline of the Mughal Empire in the 18th century, Rajputana become more and more independent.The Rajput kings concluded treaties with the British in the early 19th century, accepting British sovereignty. Ajmer became a province of British India, while the autonomous Rajput states and a few non-Rajput states (Tonk, Bharatpur, and Dholpur) were organized into the Rajputana Agency. Bharatpur and Dholpur were Jat states. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

On your own site you admit to the origins and antiquity of Rajputs but here you start a useless fight with Digvijay over the same!!!
And curiously while the relations of Rajputs with the British and Mughals are described, nothing is said about the two Jat states.
