Question

Nagaur was conquered and annexed by which house of Rajputs during late Mughal period?

The correct answer is

Jodhpur

Nagaur is a historic town in central Rajasthan whose fort and strategic location made it a prize contested repeatedly between rival Rajput houses and the Mughal empire.

The Rathore clan ruled two major Rajput states in this region, Marwar with its capital at Jodhpur and a separate branch at Bikaner, and Nagaur lay on the frontier between their spheres of influence.

During the late Mughal period, as central Mughal authority weakened after Aurangzeb, the Rathore rulers of Jodhpur (Marwar) conquered and annexed Nagaur, bringing it firmly under the house of Jodhpur.

Mewar was the Sisodia kingdom centred on Udaipur and Chittor, associated with rulers like Maharana Pratap, and was not the annexing power here.

Amber was the Kachhwaha state near modern Jaipur, while Bikaner, though also Rathore, was a distinct branch and not credited with this annexation.

Thus the Rajput house responsible for conquering and annexing Nagaur in this era was the Rathores of Jodhpur.

Therefore the answer is Jodhpur.
