Until the States Reorganisation of 1956 the head of the state was called the Rajpramukh, and the office of Governor was created for Rajasthan from November 1956, the first holder being Sardar Gurmukh Nihal Singh.

As the princely states of Rajputana merged, their separate courts were replaced by a single High Court for the new state, established in 1949 with its seat at Jodhpur; its first Chief Justice was Kamala Kant Verma.

Article 164(1A), inserted by the Ninety-first Constitutional Amendment of 2003, provides that the total number of ministers including the Chief Minister shall not exceed fifteen per cent of the total strength of the Legislative Assembly, and fifteen per cent of Rajasthan's two hundred seats is thirty.

Article 159 requires the Governor, before entering upon his office, to make and subscribe an oath in the presence of the Chief Justice of the High Court of that state, or in his absence the senior-most judge of that court available.

The treaty of 1826 ended the First Anglo-Burmese War, and by it Burma gave up its claims over Assam, Manipur, Cachar and Jaintia and ceded Arakan and Tenasserim, so Assam passed to the East India Company and six centuries of Ahom rule came to a close.

Mir Jumla, Aurangzeb's governor of Bengal, marched up the valley in 1662, occupied the capital Garhgaon and forced the Ahom king Jayadhwaj Singha to accept the Treaty of Ghilajharighat in 1663, under which the Ahoms paid a heavy indemnity, ceded territory and gave hostages.
