BIJAWAR

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 928 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BIJAWAR , a native state of central India, in the Bundelkhand agency. Area, 973 sq. in.; pop. (1901) 110,500; revenue, ro,000. Forests cover nearly half the
total
  area of the state, which is believed to be
rich
  in minerals, but lack of transport facilities has hindered the development of its resources.
The state takes its name from the
chief
  town, Bijawar (pop. in 19or, 5220), which was founded by Bijai Singh, one of the Gond chiefs of Garha
Mandla
 , in the 17th
century
 . It was conquered in the 18th
century
  by Chhatarsal, the founder of
Panna
 , a Rajput of the Bundela clan, by whose descendants it is still held. It was confirmed to Ratan Singh in 1811 by the British government for the usual deed of allegiance. In 1857 Bhan Pratap Singh rendered
signal
  services to the British during the Mutiny, being rewarded with certain privileges and a hereditary salute of eleven guns. In 1866 he received the
title
  of maharaja, and the prefix sawai in 1877. Bhan Pratap was succeeded on his death in 1899 by his adopted son, Sanwant Singh, a son of the maharaja of Orchha.
