Jaipur Amagarh Fort: History and factors leading to current conflict

Amagarh fort in Jaipur is at the centre of a conflict between the tribal Meena community and local Hindu groups.
Members of the Meena community say the Amagarh Fort was built by a Meena ruler predating Rajput rule in Jaipur.
According to historian Rima Hooja, the present form of the Amagarh Fort was given in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, founder of Jaipur.
It has always been believed that there was some construction at the place before Jai Singh II built the fort.
Prior to Rajput rule by the Kachhwaha dynasty, Jaipur and its nearby regions were ruled by Meenas, who had political control.
Sardars from the Meena community ruled large parts of Rajasthan till around 1100 AD.
