What was called Rajputana by the British? Was it true?

✓

Answer

In the nineteenth century, the region that forms most of present- day Rajasthan, was called Rajputana by the British.
This suggests that this was an area that was inhabited only or mainly by Rajputs. This is only partly true.
There were several groups who identified themselves as Rajputs in many areas of northern and central India.
There were also several people other them Rajputs who lived in Rajasthan.
However, the Rajputs were often recognised as contributing to the distinctive culture of Rajasthan.
