Ajmer
History:
 Historically,
Ajmer always had great strategic importance and was
sacked by Mahumud of Ghazni on one of his periodic
forays from Afghanistan. Later it became a favorite
residence of the great Moghula. One of the first
contacts between the Moghula and the British occurred in
Ajmer when Sir Thomas Roe met with Jahangir here in
1616. The city was subsequently taken by the Scindias
and, in 1818, it was handed over to the British,
becoming one of the few places in Rajasthan controlled
directly by British rather than being part of a princely
state.
