History

Origin and History of Korna Thikana

Korna Thikana, situated in the modern Balotra district (formerly part of Barmer) of Rajasthan, is a historic estate of the Uhad Rathores (also spelled Uhar). The lineage of this sub-clan of the Rathore dynasty originates from Rao Uhad, who was the second son of Rao Asthan, the ruler of Pali and Khed, and the grandson of Rao Sheoji (the founder of the Rathore dynasty in Marwar). The descendants of Rao Uhad established their strongholds in the western regions of Rajasthan, with Korna emerging as one of their primary seats of influence.

Historical Significance and Legacy

The Uhad Rathores of Korna played a vital role in the socio-political landscape of Marwar. They were known for their military valor and feudal allegiance to the royal house of Jodhpur. Through successive generations, the Thakurs of Korna maintained administrative control over their jagir, fostering local trade and agriculture in the arid terrain. Following India's independence and the subsequent abolition of the Jagirdari system in 1952, the estate integrated into the democratic setup, though the cultural heritage and traditional legacy of the Uhad Rathores continue to be preserved by their descendants today.
