Bansiya

Established in 1721, the historic thikana (fiefdom) of Bansiya was granted to Thakur Suja, a prominent noble of the Chauhan clan, by the then-ruling Maharawal of Banswara during a period of significant geopolitical restructuring in the Vagad region. As loyal vassals, the rulers of Bansiya contributed militarily and administratively to the defence of the Banswara State, successfully navigating the turbulent eras of Maratha dominance and the subsequent British paramountcy established in the early 19^th century. This Chauhan enclave within the predominantly Sisodia-ruled princely state of Banswara maintained its feudal autonomy, traditional land-revenue administration, and cultural heritage until the post-independence integration of Rajputana states into the United State of Rajasthan in 1949.
