Nagaur was conquered and annexed by which house of Rajputs during late Mughal period?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
During the decline of the Mughal period (especially after Aurangzeb's death in 1707), the Rathore dynasty of Jodhpur (Marwar) conquered Nagaur and annexed it.
The rulers of Marwar took advantage of the weakening of Mughal power to re-establish their dominance over the region.
Maharaja Maldev, ruler of Marwar, also captured Nagaur in 1534-35, but during the later Mughal period, the region became an independent and integral part of Marwar (Jodhpur).
Amar Singh Rathore: During the time of Shah Jahan, Amar Singh Rathore of Marwar was in charge of Nagaur, but later the Rathores of Jodhpur took complete control of it.
