About Rajasthan Elections

The 5,000 years old historic state of Rajasthan is also called the 'land of kings'. Rajasthan, which is the largest state in India, comprises an area of 342,239 square kilometers. The famous Thar Desert is situated in this state. Jaipur, also known as the 'Pink City', is the capital of Rajasthan. Rajasthan has a vibrant political history. It was the site of the oldest Indus Valley Civilization and was also a significant part of the ancient Mauryan Empire. After the fall of the empire, a number of Rajput clans established their sway over various parts of the land. In the beginning of the 13th century, Ranthambore and Ajmer came under Mughal control. The Mughal emperor Akbar was successful in politically uniting the whole of Rajasthan.

After the decline of the Mughal Empire in 1707 AD, parts of Rajasthan were captured by the Maratha confederacy. The emerging British Empire in India concluded treaties of alliance with the different Rajput clans in 1817-18. Thus, Rajasthan which was now called Rajputana, came under British rule. When India achieved its independence in 1947, Rajputana was a loose heterogeneous conglomeration of different political entities. It consisted of 19 princely states, 2 chieftainships of Lava and Kushalgarh, a British administered province of Ajmer-Merwara and some areas outside its boundaries. The integration process of what we presently know as Rajasthan was done in seven stages, from March 1948 to November 1956.

Today, Rajasthan consists of 33 districts. The first elected Chief Minister of Rajasthan was Heera Lal Shastri of the Indian National Congress. The first Governor of Rajasthan was Gurmukh Nihal Singh.
