The History of Jaipur

Into the Modern Era

Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II (r. 1922-1949) came to the throne as a minor. After his education and military training in the UK, he set about reforming the Jaipur State Forces. This proved timely, given their participation in World War II, serving in North Africa.

In the post-war period, the Maharaja oversaw the transition from monarchy to democracy and the integration of Jaipur into the new state of Rajasthan as a part of the independent Indian union. Today, Jaipur continues to flourish as a centre of arts and crafts and as a celebrated tourist destination.

“A road accident in June 2011 gave me a cervical spinal cord injury. However, this has not in any way prevented me from living life to the fullest and growing in my career as a communicator.

I am an avid traveler and love embarking on new journeys. I wish to inspire people with disabilities to not put their travel plans on hold, while the world around us takes it time to become more inclusive and accessible.” (source: About me, travel blog Mrunmaiy)
