Rājasthān (Devanāgarī: राजस्थान, IPA: /raːdʒəst̪ʰaːn/) pronunciation is the largest state of the Republic of India in terms of area. It borders Pakistan to the west, Gujarat to the southwest, Madhya Pradesh to the southeast, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to the northeast and Punjab to the north. Rajasthan covers an area of 342,239 km² (132,139 mi²).

The state capital is Jaipur. Geographical features include the Thar Desert in western Rajasthan and the termination of the Ghaggar River. One of the world's oldest mountain ranges, the Aravalli Range, cradles the only hill station of Rajasthan, Mount Abu, and its world famous Dilwara Temples. Eastern Rajasthan has two national tiger reserves, Ranthambore and Sariska, as well as Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur, famous for its bird life.

Geography

The main geographic feature of Rajasthan is the Aravalli Range, which runs through the state from southwest to northeast, almost from one end to another end. Mount Abu is at the southwestern end of the range, although a series of broken ridges continues into Haryana in the direction of Delhi. About three-fifths of Rajasthan lies northwest of the Aravallis, leaving two-fifths on the east and south.

The northwestern portion of Rajasthan is generally sandy and dry, and most of the region is covered by the Thar Desert, which extends into adjoining portions of Pakistan. The Aravalli Ranges intercept the moisture-giving southwest monsoon winds off the Arabian Sea, leaving the northwestern region in a rain shadow. The Thar Desert is thinly populated, and the town of Bikaner is the largest city in the desert. The Northwestern thorn scrub forests lie in a band around the Thar Desert, between the desert and the Aravallis. This region receives less than 750 mm of rain in an average year, and summer temperatures can exceed 45º C in the summer months, and drop below freezing in the winter. The Godwar, Marwar, and Shekhawati regions lie in the thorn scrub forest zone, along with the city of Jodhpur. The Luni River and its tributaries are the major river system of Godwar and Marwar regions, draining the western slopes of the Aravallis and emptying southwest into the great Rann of Kutch wetland in neighboring Gujarat. The Ghaggar River, which originates in Haryana, is an intermittent stream that disappears into the sands of the Thar Desert in the northern corner of the state.

The Aravalli Range and the lands to the east and southeast of the range are generally more fertile and better watered. This region is home to the Kathiarbar-Gir dry deciduous forests ecoregion, with tropical dry broadleaf forests that include teak, Acacia, and other trees. The hilly Vagad region lies in southernmost Rajasthan, on the border with Gujarat. With the exception of Mount Abu, Vagad is the wettest region in Rajasthan, and the most heavily forested. North of Vagad lies the Mewar region, home to the cities of Udaipur and Chittaurgarh. The Hadoti region lies to the southeast, on the border with Madhya Pradesh. North of Hadoti and Mewar is the Dhundhar region, home to the state capital of Jaipur. Mewat, the easternmost region of Rajasthan, borders Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Eastern and southeastern Rajasthan is drained by the Banas and Chambal rivers, tributaries of the Ganges.

Topography

The Aravali Range runs across the state from southwest Guru Peak (Mount Abu), which is 1,722 m in height to Khetri in the northeast. This divides the state into 60% in the northwest of the lines and 40% in the southeast. The northwest tract is sandy and unproductive with little water but improves gradually from desert land in the far west and northwest to comparatively fertile and habitable land towards the east. The area includes the Great Indian (Thar) Desert.

The south-eastern area, higher in elevation (100 to 350 m above sea level) and more fertile, has a very diversified topography. in the south lies the hilly tract of Mewar. In the southeast, a large area of the districts of Kota and Bundi forms a tableland and to the northeast of these districts is a rugged region (badlands) following the line of the Chambal River. Farther north the country levels out; the flat plains of the northeastern Bharatpur district are part of the alluvial basin of the Yamuna River.

History

Rajasthan was earlier called Rajputana (state of Rajputs) after the ruling class of Rajputs. Rajput literally means 'son of kings'. Rajput clans rose to prominence in the 6th century, establishing kingdoms in Rajasthan and across northern India. The Rajputs resisted Muslim incursions into India, although a number of Rajput states became tributaries to the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire during those empires' peak of expansion. As these empires weakened, the Rajputs reasserted their independence. With the decline of the Mughal Empire in the 18th century, Rajputana become more and more independent.The Rajput kings concluded treaties with the British in the early 19th century, accepting British sovereignty. Ajmer became a province of British India, while the autonomous Rajput states and a few non-Rajput states (Tonk, Bharatpur, and Dholpur) were organized into the Rajputana Agency.

Rajasthan's independent kingdoms created a rich architectural and cultural heritage, seen today in its numerous forts, palaces (Mahals) and havelis, which are complemented by exceptional examples of Muslim and Jain architecture.

Rajputana Liberation Front (RLF)

The Rajputana Liberation Front was formed with the following objectives:

1. To restore the Rajput civilization of Rajasthan to its former glory and free the Rajputs from the shackles of Brahminist slavery by establishing a sovereign and independant Rajputana or Rajputstan,

2. To restore the ancient Saka civilization of Sakastan and foster greater unity with kindred Saka races such as Gujars, Jats and Gujaratis.

3. To restore the Rajasthani language as the adopted national language and to its pristine purity by removal of Sanskritic corruptions, to revive the ancient indigenous Mahajani Rajput script by abolishing the Sanskritc Devanagari, and encouraging usage of Rajput rather than Brahmanic grammar.

4. To revive the ancient Rajput-Saura religion of Sun-veneration by declaring it a separate and independant religion in its own right, and not a mere sect of Brahmanism ie. Hinduism.

In all this, the RLF does not advocate the use of violence by Rajputs or other Sakas, but uses solely peaceful methods of achieving its objectives.

What is Rajputana ?

`Rajputana' means `Land of Rajputs' in Rajasthani, it is an indigenous term for `Rajputstan'. Rajputana has been a historical reality since the Sakas entered into India (Ancient Pakistan) in the centuries following the birth of Christ. They established a large Sakastan which included at its peak the Indus-Ganges Valley and western India. The locus of Sakastan, and those regions which have best preserved their Saka heritage, are however, the Rajputana and Gujarat sub-regions. Rajputana was never part of the Indo-Aryan dominated regions of Maharashtra or of Aryavarta. The Saks formed a distinct race with its own civilisation and religion. The Rajputs are also not `Hindu', in any way of distinction or form we are instead Sauras or Sun-worshippers.

Rajputana thus embodies the supreme Saka ideals. It is the firm conviction of the RLF that the preservation of Saka ideals requires an independant Rajputstan. For the last fifty years, the incredible damage done to the Saka heritage of Rajputs has been immense and incalculable. Indeed, the Rajput culture is in grave risk of being wiped out from the face of the Earth. Only independance can lead to a resurrection of the Rajput civilization.

Flags of Rajputana

Such is the incredible repression unleashed against the Rajputs in Brahmin-Controlled India that the Rajputs are even forbidden from flying their ancestral flags. This act is considered a civil offence. Thus, the Flags of the World website notes that -

" ... the princely flags are banned. State flags for the modern Indian states do not exist save for occupied Jammu and Kashmir. ... The "ex-princely" families still use the flags, although the central government doesn't like it ... Most of the residences of the ex-rulers still fly the State flag, for example Gwalior or Jaipur, those rulers who still own their "houses" in New Delhi ... None of this is legal, as such." In this context it is to be noted that the Indian flag does not even represent the Rajputs as there is no yellow color symbolising the Sun. It is the duty of every Rajput to continue the usage of his ancestral flags and to proudly continue the Rajput tradition. As part of this effort, the RLFS here provides some of the historical Rajput flags, flags for which the ancient Rajput would gladly give his life.

The original flag of Jaipur in 1877 contains a Sun to represent the Saura-Saka religion of the Rajputs and a yellow band to further emphasise that heritage. It is is depicted Later, the flag was slightly altered. The Flags of the World website writes regarding this flag -

"Jaipur - also Jeypore. Former Indian state, East Rajputana, NW India, now in Rajasthan state; 15.610 square miles, capital: Jaipur city. Founded in 12th century (probably 1128) by Rajput chief from Gwalior; furnished famous generals to Mughal Emperors; came under British protection 1818; title: Maharaja."

The state of Idar was annexed to the Brahmin-Occupied-Government on June 26, 1947 and usage of the ancestral Rajput flag strictly forbidden. Liks the flag of Jaipur, it contains a yellow band to symbolise the Sun and its high status with the Rajputs.

The flag of Banswarra has a bright yellow margin, symbolising the Sun, surrounding a red center, symbolising fire. Once again, the ancestral Saura-Saka descent of the Rajputs is emphasised in this magnificent flag.

The Bikaner flag has a red upper stripe over a lower orange-saffron stripe, symbolising the supremacy of Sun-worship over Brahmanism (Vedism and Vaishnavism).

Regarding Bikaner, the Flags of the World website states

" Bikaner was a former Indian state, now part of Rajasthan, NW India; 23,181 square miles; desolate tract, part of Thar Desert without a single stream. The northern part is watered by irrigation channels. Founded about 1465 by Rajput chief; adhered loyally to Mughal Empire; waged wars with Jodhpur through 18th century; received British political agent in 1883. Capital, Bikaner, is 140 miles West of Delhi."

The Independant Rajputana state of Kishengarh was annexed to the Brahmin-Occupied Government on June 26, 1947.

The Marwari flag of Marwar (Jodhpur) contains a red and yellow stripe symbolising fire and the Sun, respectively. This symbolises the Saura religion of the Rajputs. Marwar is described as "region borders on Thar Desert on W, touches Great Rann of Kutch on SW; traversed by Luni river flowing SW"

The flag of Bharatpur in Mewat consists of a bright yellow center and two thin horizontal light blue bands. The center symbolises the Sun and the central role it plays in the life of the Rajput.

The Indian Flag does not represent Rajputs!

Indian Flag On15 August 1947 the Brahmin-dominated Hindu Congress under Pandit Nehru the Brahmin adopted the familiar horizontal tricolor of orange, white, and green with a blue Ashoka Chakra at the center. The orange-saffron color represents the Brahmans and Brahmanism, the green represents nature, the white represents peace and the blue Ashoka Chakra represents the Buddhists. But where is the yellow to represent the Rajputs and our Sun-God ? Where, indeed, is the yellow in the flag ?

For the Brahmin-Occupied-Government, the Buddhists who form less than 1 % of the population of India are more important than the Rajputs who form 10 % ! It is for this reason that the Rajputs feel offended by the Indian flag which does not represent them at all.

Additionally, the saffron, indicating the Brahmins and Brahmanism, is at te top of the flag, indicating the racial supremacy the Brahmins had established over the conquered races. A black region to represent the Sudroid Negroes (Dalits and Dravidians) is also missing.

Long Live Rajputana ! Jai Singh

see Princely states of India -

Independent Rajputstan

The need for a Autonmous and sovereign (Self-rule), and independent Rajputstan is often questioned by sceptics. The following compelling reasons necessitate the formation of a Rajputstan state :

Destruction of Rajasthani Language

Ever since the establishment of the neo-Brahminist state in 1947 under Pandit Nehru, the Rajasthani language has been targetted for complete destruction. The alien Sanskritic Devanagari was enforced upon the helpless Rajputs, whilst the ancient indigenous Rajput Marathi script was slowly choked to death. Now, our Mahajani only survives in remote regions. A large number of Sanskritic words were enforced upon the Rajputs, leading to a suffocation of the Rajasthani language. Finally, Rajasthani was declared a dialect of Hindi, meaning that the very language of the Rajputs had been taken away from them. Indeed, the Brahmin-Occupied-Government still refuses to accpet that Rajasthani is or even ever was an independent language.

This has not been the result of `cultural death', but has been the cumulative result of fifty years of Brahminist policies involving ruthless Khari Boli Hindi enforcement and bigoted Sanskritisation.

If this continues for fifty more years, there shall be no more Rajasthani language left. For this reason, RLF demands and independent Rajasthan - a Rajputana.

Annihilation of Rajput Royal Families

Pandit Nehru and the Brahminists abolished the Rajput royal families in the 1950s under the ruse of establishing a `democracy'. The noblest of the Rajput races had their properties and wealth confiscated, their lands stolen and their very livelihood snatched away from them. Several prominent Rajputs were in fact secretly poisoned after having been imprisoned by the Brahmin-Occupied-Government. Slowly, the Rajputs were destroyed and their independence taken away.

Economics

Rajasthan has abundant natural resources, especially mineral riches. These are concentrated in the mineral-rich Aravalli mountains, which abound in all mannter of minerals such as iron ore, copper, emeralds, garnet, wolframite, etc. Indeed, in the case of lead-zinc, asbestos, calcite, gypsum and soapstone the state possesses a near monopoly in South Asia. However, this astronomical natural wealth has not led to any improvement in life for the inhabitants of Rajputana. The reason is simple: the wealth is simply taken to Delhi and never returned, being squandered on the costly nuclear arms race with peace-loving Pakistan, continuous `counter-insurgency operations' in Indian Occupied Kashmir and sheer corruption. The costly and bulky Indian Army gets the lions' share of Rajputana wealth, and Rajput blood flows most freely during any war. Thus, Rajputana bleeds doubly whenever any war takes place. It is Rajputana mineral wealth which finances the planes, the ships, the Bofors guns of the army, and it is Rajput men who man these posts. Yet, despite the incredible sacrifices which Rajasthan has made for Bharat, the state remains in grinding poverty.

Meanwhile, bureacrat Brahmins like Sukh Ram, Romesh Sharma, Rajiv Gandhi the `Bofors Brahmin', P.V.N.Rao and a whole host of other corrupt Pandits are extraordinarily skillful at making money disappear. The amount of money taken by the Central Government from Rajashtan each year, and the amount returned to it are grossly disproportionate, with the amount remitted to the State being a mere trickle.

Corruption

In order to crush the non-Brahmins to the level of sub-humans, Pandit Nehru introduced a huge bureacracy under the guise of `employment generation'. Only Brahmins were allowed to reach the top of the hierarchy, whilst the general population was crushed beneath its staggering weight. This corruption is not a feature of `social decay', it is a result of deliberate neo-Kautilyan policies pursued by the Government. The overwhelming majority of corrupt officials are Brahmins, who indeed dominate the bureacracy.

Destruction of Rajput Monuments

Everywhere in Rajasthan, Rajput historical monuments are in advanced stages of decay. Thousands of buildings have disappeared, ostansibly for Brahmin `development' programs which in any case never succeed in providing jobs for Rajasthanis. The Archaeological Survey of India is of course lethargic when it comes to renovating and maintaining Rajput palaces, especially since those in control of the ASI are all Rajput-hating Brahmins.

Indentity

With the ancient language virtually gone, and the very Rajput culture under threat, Rajput youth is rapidly losing its identity. Most young Rajputs are unaware of being Rajput. In fact they are taught to be ashamed of calling themselves Rajput, and are taught that their ancestors were `traitors', who supposedly `supported the Mughals'. They are taught that the Rajputs were `evil feudalists' who ostensibly `oppressed Sudras' and `murdered holy Brahmins'; in every single line of the school textbooks Rajput heritage is denigrated and maligned. Who writes these text-books ? Virtually all of them are authored by Brahmins, and the school boards are universally under Brahmin control. Not only is Rajput civilization being slowly destroyed, but the very minds of the Rajputs are being corrupted by Brahmin mind-poison. The result has been the most fatal tuberculosis of the Rajput and Saka races.

The only cure for this vile disease is Independence and freedom. As long as the Rajput race remains under the yoke of the Brahmins, that race shall eventually become a race of sub-humans, eventually disappearing from the map, just like the countless other races exterminated by the Brahmins.

Economy

Macro-economic trend

This is a chart of trend of gross state domestic product of Rajasthan at market prices estimated by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation with figures in millions of Indian Rupees.

Rajasthan's gross state domestic product for 2004 is estimated at $33 billion in current prices.

The palaces of Jaipur, lakes of Udaipur, and desert forts of Jaisalmer are among the most preferred destination of many tourists, Indian and foreign. Tourism accounts for eight percent of the state's domestic product. Many old and neglected palaces and forts have been converted into heritage hotels. Tourism has increased employment in the hospitality sector.

Handicrafts

A spin-off of tourism has been the growth of the handicrafts industry.
