Its history is deeply intertwined with the [Rathore](/source/Rathore_(Rajput_clan)) and [Bhati](/source/Bhati) [Rajput](/source/Rajput) clans, reflecting a legacy of power struggles, migrations, and alliances. ==Rathore Rule== In the 16th century, Rao Maldeo Rathore of Jodhpur annexed Ladnun, bringing it under the Rathore domain. The town remained a part of Jodhpur State until the mid-20th century. Under Rathore rule, Ladnun developed into an administrative and trade center, benefiting from its strategic location on the [Marwar](/source/Marwar) trade route. ==Bhati Clan's Arrival== The arrival of Thakur Udai Singh Bhati in Ladnun is a significant event recorded in the historic Pothi (manuscript) maintained by Bhat Rao Uday Singh of Asalpur. Originally from Bhawanda, Thakur Udai Singh Bhati was forced to leave due to the anger of the former Maharaja of Jodhpur. His original plan was to cross Marwar via Ladnun and settle in Churu, which at the time was beyond Jodhpur's direct control. However, Thakur Padam Singh Rathore, the ruler of Ladnun, recognized the strategic value of Udai Singh's presence. He knew that Thakur Udai Singh was a skilled warrior, and if he settled in Churu, he could become a valuable asset to the ruler of Churu. Instead of letting this opportunity slip away, Thakur Padam Singh invited Udai Singh to settle in Ladnun, ensuring that Ladnun itself benefited from his military expertise and leadership. This decision not only strengthened Ladnun's defensive and strategic position but also integrated the Bhati lineage into the region, shaping its future alliances and military strength. ==Modern Political Influence of the Rathore Clan== The Rathore clan continues to hold a strong reputation in Ladnun. The family has maintained its political influence, with Thakur Manohar Singh previously serving as the [MLA](/source/Member_of_the_Legislative_Assembly_(India)) of Ladnun. Today, his son, Thakur Karni Singh, carries forward his legacy and is regarded as the "Son of Ladnun", being one of the most popular and respected MLAs in the region. == Demographics == {{As of|2001}} India [census](/source/census),{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-date=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|access-date=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}} Ladnu had a population of 57,047.
