BIKANER 17 GUN SALUTE STATE
Bikaner state is formerly Rajputana
Agency, now in Rajasthan State , The State was founded in the mid-fifteenth
century by Bika, a son of the chief of Jodhpur. Area of state was 23,317 Sq.
miles ,and population of state was 9,36,218 in 1931.
Bikaner State was
a princely state in the Bikaner region
from 1465 to 1947. Its capital was the city of Bikaner in
the northern area of present-day Rajasthan State in India. Covering an area
of 60,391 Sq.Km or 23,317 Sq. Miles. Bikaner State was one
of the largest states under the Rajputana Agency.
Heeding the call of Vallabhbhai Patel to
integrate the princely states into the new independent India, Bikaner's last
king, Maharaja Sadul Singh, advised by his dewan K. M. Panikkar, a
respected historian, was one of the first rulers of a princely state to display
willingness to join the Indian Union. By
issuing a public appeal in April 1947 to his fellow princes to join the Constituent Assembly
of India, the Maharaja of Bikaner set an example for
other heads of the native states to follow.
