Question

write down development of watan jagir of rajput

Answer 1

The rulers of Amer and Jodhpur served as vassals under the Mughals, and they were awarded watan jagirs (regions or provinces) which they could rule independently.In the eighteenth century, these Rajputs started asserting complete independence and took over neighbouring areas. Ajit Singh of Jodhpur, for example, created factions in the Mughal court.Raja Ajit singh of Jodhpur held the subadari of Gujarat, while Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Amber governed Malwa. And after their offices were renewed by Emperor Jahandar Shah in 1713, they brought more nearby rich areas under their rule.Nagaur, for example, was annexed by the house of Jodhpur, and Bundi was annexed by Sawai Jai Singh.Sawai Jai singh made Jaipur the capital of his empire, and he was given the subadari of Agra in 1722.But the Marathas campaigned in Rajasthan to fight against the expansion of these kingdoms.

Answer 2

Many Rajput kings, particularly belonging to Amber and Jodhpur had served extremely well under the Mughals. In exchange, they were allowed to enjoy considerable autonomy in their watan jagirs. These rulers, in the 18th century, attempted to extend their control over adjacent areas. The ruler of Jodhpur, Ajit Singh, was involved in the factional politics at the Mughal court.
These Rajput families were influential. They claimed the subadari of the rich provinces of Gujarat and Malwa. Raja Ajit Singh of Jodhpur held the governorship of Gujarat whereas Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Amber was governor of Malwa. In 1713, these offices were renewed by Emperor Jahandar Shah. As an effort to extend their territory, they also seized portions of imperial territories neighbouring their watans:
Nagaur was conquered and annexed to the house of Jodhpur.
Amber seized many portions of Bundi.
Sawai Raj Singh founded his new capital at Jaipur. He was given the subadari of Agra in 1722. There was severe pressure on these principalities by Maratha campaigns in Rajasthan from the 1740s. This checked their further expansion.
