What was called rajputana by the british
Answers
In the 19th century, the region that constitutes most of the present-day Rajasthan was called Rajputana by the British, it was also called Rajwar, which was a former group of princely states. This area was known as Rajputana around the time when Kachwaha, a Rajput clan, migrated to the region. The Kachwa has continued to assist their Rajput allies in many Fatal battles including First Battle of Tarain and later in the disastrous Second Battle of Tarain. The last time where Kachwahas fought for Rajputs was under Rana Sanga of Chittor in the Battle of Khanwa.
After the defeat, the Kachwahas accepted the Supremacy of Mughals under the Akbar reign.
The region was previously long known as Gujratra (an early form of "Gujarat"), before it came to be called Rajputana during the medieval period
