Seine Hoheit Maharaja Jaswant Singh II (zwischen dem Jahr 1830-11. Oktober, war zwischen dem Jahr 1873 und dem Jahr 1895 Maharaja von Jodhpur. Jodhpur wurde 1459 von Rao Jodha, einem Rajput Chief des Rathore-Clans, gegründet. Jodha gelang es, das umliegende Gebiet zu erobern und gründete damit einen Staat, der als Marwar bekannt wurde. Wie Jodha aus der nahe gelegenen Stadt Mandore jubelte, diente diese Stadt zunächst als Hauptstadt dieses Staates; Jodhpur übernahm diese Rolle jedoch schon zu Jodha-Zeiten. Die Stadt lag an der strategischen Straße, die Delhi mit Gujarat verband. Dies ermöglichte es, von einem Aufblühen zu profitieren

His Highness Maharaja Jaswant Singh II (1838- 11 October 1895, was Maharaja of Jodhpur between 1873 and 1895. Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, a Rajput chief of the Rathore clan. Jodha succeeded in conquering the surrounding territory and thus founded a state which came to be known as Marwar. As Jodha hailed from the nearby town of Mandore, that town initially served as the capital of this state; however, Jodhpur soon took over that role, even during the lifetime of Jodha. The city was located on the strategic road linking Delhi to Gujarat. This enabled it to profit from a flourishing trade in opium, copper, silk, sandals, date palms and coffee. Early in its history, the state became a fief under the Mughal Empire, owing fealty to them while enjoying some internal autonomy. During this period, the state furnished the Mughals with several notable generals such as Maharaja Jaswant Singh. Jodhpur and its people benefited from this exposure to the wider world: new styles of art and architecture made their appearance and opportunities opened up for local tradesmen to make their mark across northern India. During the British Raj, the state of Jodhpur had the largest land area of any in Rajputana. Jodhpur prospered under the peace and stability that were a hallmark of this era. Its merchants, the Marwaris, flourished and came to occupy a position of dominance in trade across India. In 1947, when India became independent, the state merged into the union of India and Jodhpur became the second city of Rajasthan.
