This fake story of Jodhpur wanting to join Pakistan seems to be favourite of many. Jodhpur was actually one of the first states to join the Constituent Assembly in April 47. At that time,Liaqat Ali Khan had accused these States of being compelled by Congress to join the assembly. After his father’s death, in his coronation speech, Maharaja Hanwant Singh reiterated Jodhpur’s commitment to the Constituent Assembly of India.

In 1728 VS (1672 AD), Maharana of Mewar offered protection to ShrinathJi from Aurangzeb and ShrinathJi arrived in Mewar and was installed at Sihar village in Phalgun 1728 VS (Feb 1672 AD). Sihar became the town of Nathdwara. 130 years later, in VS 1858 (1802 AD) Maharana again came to rescue of ShrinathJi, when Jaswant Rao Holkar's invading army marched to Nathdwara to extort money. News of Holkar's march had already reached Tilkayat GiridharJi, who requested Maharana's help.

When Maharaja Ajit Singh came to Delhi, his men showed him the place where his mother along with other Rajputs had died while trying to save him from Mughals and ensured his safe passage to Marwar.

This is what happens when you believe stories manufactured over time, instead of reading history.

If #MaharanaPratap was facing such hardships after the battle of Khamnor #Haldighati , then what was the need for Akbar to come over Mewar, just 4 months later in Oct 1576? If Mughals had actually won the battle, then why they were holed up and forced to starve in Gogunda for months later? Rajputs and Bhils were constantly harassing Mughals, attacking mughal supply routes. Mughals were living like prisoners, confined in Gogunda.

In the land of #Marwar, as there are no perennial rivers or natural lakes available, people were dependent on the rains. Different ways were used to conserve water, which was a necessity to conserve every single drop of water. Over centuries, Rulers of Marwar spent a lot of effort and money to build various types of water reservoirs. Ladies from ruling family spent their privy purses on works of water conservation, even common people did their part in this which is still considered as pious work.
