Charkhari State was one of the Princely states of India during the period of the British Raj.[1] On India's independence, this Princely state acceded to India. Currently Charkhari town, the former state's capital, is a part of Uttar Pradesh state.
History
Charkhari State was founded in 1765 by Khuman Singh Bundela.[2] Raja Chhatarsal Bundela divided his lands in 1731 into several portions, one of which was given to Raja Jagat Rai. At his death in 1757, a dispute arose as to the succession, with Raja Pahar Singh, seizing the territory forcing Raja Khuman Singh to flee. Terms were agreed to in 1764, and Raja Khuman Singh received Charkhari, becoming its first Raja in 1765.
Maratha Conquest
In the year 1789 Arjun Pawar the diwan and general of Ali Bahadur I attacked Vijay Bahadur and expelled him.[3]
In 1857, Raja Ratan Singh received a hereditary salute of 11 guns, a khilat, and a perpetual jagir of Rs. 20,000 (£1,300) a year in recognition of his services during the Indian Mutiny.[4][5]
The last ruler of this Princely state signed the accession to the Indian Union on 15 August 1947.
Rulers
In 1804, under Raja Bikramajit Singh Bundela (1782–1829) rule, the state became a British protectorate.[6]
