DEWAS JUNIOR 15 GUN SALUTE STATE
Dewas State was a territory within Western India, which was the seat of two Maratha princely states during the British Raj: 'Dewas Junior' - Jivaji Rao ('Dada Saheb') and Dewas Senior - Tukoji Rao ('Baba Saheb'). On 12 December 1818 Dewas State became a British protectorate.
The
seats were established in 1728 by two brothers from the Puar clan, who
advanced into Malwa with the Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao, and divided
the territory among themselves after the Maratha conquest. The two Rajas heading
Dewas states both lived in separate residences in the town of Dewas, and ruled over
separate areas. The Junior branch had an area of 440 Sq. Mies or
1,100 Sq.Km and had a population of
54,904 in 1901, while the Senior branch had an area of 446 Sq. Miles
or 1,160 Sq.Km. a population of in
62,312 in the same year. Both Dewas states were in the Malwa Agency of
the Central
India Agency.
After India's independence in 1947, the Maharajas of Dewas
acceded to India, and their states were integrated into Madhya Bharat, which became a
state of India in 1950. In 1956, Madhya Bharat was merged into Madhya Pradesh state.
