Chapter 7 Independence Movement and Rajasthan — OUR RAJASTHAN STD 7 — Question

When the independence movement was going on in the country, Rajasthan was not left unaffected to it. The British had direct suzerainty over Ajmer in Rajasthan. The rest of Rajasthan was ruled by kings and emperors. So the form of struggle was a little different here. The British had started interfering in the work of local states, which changed the social warp and weft there. The farmers and tribes here raised their voices and struggled against this. Subsequently, Praja Mandals (people’s board) were established in various princely states. Praja Mandals awakened the political consciousness of the people and later played an important role in the integration of Rajasthan.
