The
earliest known inhabitants of the region were tribals called Dasas. Later,
Aryans came and they assimilated in the tribes. In the later centuries,
the hill chieftains accepted suzerainty of the Mauryan empire, the
Kaushans, the Guptas and Kanuaj rulers. During the Mughal period, the
Rajas of the hill states made some mutually agreed arrangements which
governed their relations. In the 19th century, Ranjit Singh
annexed/subjugated many of the states. When the British came, they
defeated Gorkhas and entered into treaties with some Rajas and annexed the
kingdoms of the others. The situation largely remained the same untill
1947. After Independence, 30 princely states of the area were united and
Himachal Pradesh was formed on 15th April, 1948. On 1st November, 1966,
certain areas belonging to Punjab were included in Himachal Pradesh. On
25th January, 1971, Himachal Pradesh was made a full-fledged State.
