History of Rajasthan: An Introduction: The State of Rajasthan came to be known by this name in 1949. It is generally believed that in 1800 AD George Thomas was the first person to call this region ‘Rajputana’, which is now called Rajasthan.
Later on in 1829, the author of the Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Colonel James Tod named this region ‘Raithan’ or ‘Rajasthan’. After India became independent and the unification of the various princely States of the region took place on 30 March, 1949 AD, it was unanimously named Rajasthan.
