The question of Sirohi : The leaders of Gujarat wished to make the centre of tourism, Sirohi based Mount Abu, a part of Gujarat, In November 1947, Sirohi was within the ambit of Gujarat state agency. On 10th April 1948, Hiralal Shastri wrote a letter to Sardar Patel that the meaning of Sirohi was Gokul Bhai.

Without Gokul Bhai, they could not run Rajasthan. In the meantime with respect to Sirohi’s main attractions Delwara and Mount Abu merged in Gujarat and the birth place of Gokul Bhai Bhatt, Hathal along with rest of Sirohi were given to Rajasthan. This step was vehemently opposed in Rajasthan, as the leadership was mainly of Gokul Bhai Bhatt.

The leadership of Rajasthan sought from Pt. Nehru a solution the problem. In order to overcome it, the whole issue was handed over to the State Reorganisation Committee. The Merger of Ajmer Marwada In the British Era, Ajmer Marwadą was a centre-ruled state.

All India Nationalist State Public Council by Rajputana Provincial Assembly had been demanding not only all the provinces of state be included in Greater Rajasthan but the area of Ajmer, Marwada also to be included but from the other side the Congress leadership of Ajmer opposed the demand.

In 1952 AD general elections for the Ajmer Marwada were held, and in the leadership of Hari Bhai Upadhayay of Congress, the cabinet for the area was formed. The Congress leadership of Ajmer was not in favour for its merger with Rajasthan.

Now alter the formation of cabinet, the Congress gave the logic that from the perspective of administration, this should remain a small State. The matter was handed over to state Reorganisation Council. The council disagreed with the contention of Congress and recommended that AjmerMarwada’s area be merged with Rajasthan.

In this manner on 1st November 1956 ÁD, by Sirohi Reorganisation Committee, Sirohi Mount Abu area and alongwith this Ajmer Marwada was also merged with Rajasthan. In this way the process of unification of Rajasthan that began in March 1948 AD was completed on 1st November 1956.

After the formation of United Rajasthan, as the symbolic remains of monarchy, Head King’s newly created post remained. By India’s newly elected parliament’s seventh amendment, on 1st November 1956 the post of Head King was abolished and in the form of first Governor of state, Sardar Guru Mukh Nihal Singh was appointed.

In this way by Sardar Patel’s cleverness, intellect and good strategy, and on the desire of Rajasthan rulers, the impactful pressure of public opinion led to the fulfillment of the dream of Rajasthan’s unification.
