Rajputana is the old name of the modern Indian state of Rajasthan. It borders Pakistan in the north-west, and the Indian states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to the south, south-east, east, and north, respectively. It is the land of the Kshatriya-warrior Rajputs (other communities being the Meenas, Gujars, Brahmans, Jats, Yadavs, Bhils, Bishnois, Ahirs, and more). The Rajputs derive their name from their state. Rajputana literally means the land of the princes ('raj' is 'king', while 'put' means 'son'). The present day capital of Rajasthan is Jaipur.
The Rajput kingdoms that emerged following the break-up of the Thaneshwar empire in the sixth century included Ajmer (one of the most important early Rajput states), Alwar, Banswara, Bharatpur, Bikaner, Bundi, Dholpur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jhalawar, Karauli, Kishangad, Kotah, Marwar (Jodhpur), Mewar (Udaipur - the senior Rajput kingdom), Pratapgarh, Tonk, Taranga, and more. During the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, Rajputana acted as an agency under the British raj. It was formed of a group of kingdoms which owed allegiance to the British crown, but were autonomous enough to run their own administration

इतिहास याद दिलाये मेवाड़ी जयमल पत्ता की !
मेवाड़ी जयमल पत्ता की ! जागो ! जागो !!
जली रानियाँ जौहर व्रत ले , अंगारों से खेली थी अंगारों से खेली |
शान बेचकर कायर की भांति अश्रु धारा ले ली अब अश्रु धारा ले ली ||
भूल गया क्यों भोले तलवार राणा सांगा की !
तलवार राणा सांगा की ! जागो ! जागो !!
केशरिया बन जूझ गए हमको गौरव देने , हाँ हमको गौरव देने |
रखते क्यों नहीं प्राण ह्रदय में उनकी पीडा लेने रे उनकी पीडा लेने ||
आई प्रलय की बेला , है मांग गोरा बादल की !
है मांग गोरा बादल की जागो ! जागो !!
यहाँ घास की रोटी से वैभव ने हार मानी वैभव ने हार मानी |
इस धरती से गूंज रही जीवन की अमर कहानी - जीवन की अमर कहानी ||
वह थाती न गुमाना , महान हल्दी घाटी की !
महान हल्दी घाटी की जागो ! जागो !!
चढा नहीं पूजा में तो पैरों से कुचलेंगे -हाँ पैरों से कुचलेंगे |
कल जो कुचले गए आज फिर तुमसे बदला लेंगे - वे तुमसे बदला लेंगे ||
बिता युग है कोस रहा , धिक्कार ऐसे जीने को |
धिक्कार ऐसे जीने को जागो ! जागो !!
