Masuda
[edit]Masuda was a tazimi istimrari estate in the Ajmer-Merwara province of Rajputana, in the present-day Ajmer district, Rajasthan, India. It was held by the Jagmalot branch of the Mertia Rathore Rajputs,[1] and was ranked third among the tazimi istimrardars of Ajmer.[2]
The Mertia branch of the Rathore Rajputs traces its origin from Rao Duda, son of Rao Jodha, who carved out a principality at Merta. The Jagmalots are descendants of Duda's grandson Jagmal.[3]
History
[edit]Foundation
[edit]According to the chronicle by Indrajit Singh Rathore, who is a member of the family, the parganah of Masuda was held by Parmar Rajputs when, around 1563, Rao Jagmal of Merta was directed by the Mughal subedar of Ajmer to remove them. Jagmal's son Bhupati Singh, along with his brothers Lad Singh, Bagh Singh and Kalloji, led the campaign with about 700 cavalry and a Mughal contingent. As a result of this conquest, the Parmars were defeated near a village named Nimbahera.[1]
Cadet branches
[edit]Bhupati's brother Lad Singh founded the neighbouring estate of Baghsuri, and Bagh Singh became a retainer of the Amber court and received the jagir of Buda-Dewal.[1] The chronicle states that when Marwar annexed Merta, the descendants of Duda were driven out and the Mertia Jagmalots settled at Masuda and Baghsuri.[1]
Status
[edit]Masuda was one of 66 istimraris in Ajmer district and belonged to the tazimi tier of the aristocracy, ranking third after Bhinai and Sawar.[2] The family chronicle describes it as the wealthiest estate in the region.[1]
