The
arid sand of Rajasthan's Thar desert had
to be traversed by numerous caravans plying
their trade between Panjab and the ports
of Gujarat as also between Central Asia
and the rest of India. The routes passed
through Bikaner and Jaipur. In the 18th
century the Mughal Empire declined. The
area of Shekhawati was taken over by Sardul
Singh and Shiv Singh, the descendants
of the 15th century warrior Rao Shekhaji.
They ousted the Mughal nawabs of Fatehpur
and Jhunjhunu. At this time the Rajput
kingdoms of Bikaner and Jaipur increased
their tax on transit trade. The wedge
of Shekhawati thus became more lucrative
for the caravans, particularly because
the rulers brought banditry too under
control while taxation was lower. |
