HISTORY OF CHEETAH, MEHRAT, KATHAT

This research delves into the intricate social dynamics of the Cheeta, Mehrat, and Kathat communities situated in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan, India. Through a historical lens, it explores the evolution of societal structures, particularly the division between Aryan and Non-Aryan classes, and the resulting stratification into leading and backward groups. The study sheds light on the geographical and natural characteristics of Ajmer-Merwara, nestled amidst the Aravalli mountain ranges, with its unique topography influencing climate patterns and agricultural practices. Additionally, it examines the historical context of Ajmer, from its inception under the Chauhan rulers to its eventual integration into the British colonial era. The narrative encompasses a rich tapestry of conquests, alliances, and shifting powers, ultimately culminating in Ajmer's transition to a district within independent India.
