After the Aryans’ transit, there was a rise of the Janpadas in Rajasthan. Offended by Alexander’s expeditions, and due to their intense desire to safeguard their independence, the Malav, Shivi and Arjunayan races of Punjab accompanied by many other races came to Rajasthan and got settled here as per their convenience. Important among them are Rajany and Matsay Janpad of Bharatpur, Shivi Janpad of Nagari, Shalv Janpad of Alwar. Besides between 300 BC and middle of 300 AD, there was dominance of Malav, Arjunayan and Yodheyon Janpadas.
