HINDOL ( NON
SALUTE STATE )
Hindol State was one of
the princely states of India during
the period of the British
Raj. Its former territory is now part of Dhenkanal district. The state's former
capital was the town of Hindol,
Odisha. Until 1947, it was not part of British
India but was subject to the suzerainty of
the British crown, under the Orissa States Agency.
Area of state was 808 Sq. Km. ,and population of state was48,896 in 1931,
Privy purse of state at the time of accession in to independent India on 1
January 1948 was Rs. 32,000.
The state of Hindol
was founded in 1554 by two brothers named Lakshman Mahratta and Bharat Mahratta
belonging to the family of the Khimedi Raja of Ganjam, which also
ruled over areas in the Madras region. After
the East
India Company occupied
Orissa in September–October 1803 treaties were signed with estates of the
region, including Hindol.
After the independence
of India in
1947 Hindol merged into Republic of
India on
1 January 1948. Thereafter in 1948, once the all princely states
including Dhenkanal, Talcher, Athmallik, Pal Lahara and Hindol
formally merged with the province of Orissa, the present Dhenkanal
district was
created.
