KOTHI ( NON SALUTE STATE )
Kothi
State (or Koti
State) was a princely state of the British Raj. It belonged to the Bagelkhand Agency of Central
India. Its capital was
at Kothi, in modern Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.
It was a
relatively small Sanad state of about 438 km2 with a population of
19,112 inhabitants in 1901. The state's territory divided neighbouring Sohawal State in two parts.
Kothi State
was founded at an uncertain date by a Rajput ruler who expelled the former Bharr ruler
of the area.
Towards the
beginning of the nineteenth century, and in much the same manner as
neighbouring Sohawal, Kothi became a British
protectorate initially
subordinate to Panna State. However, a separate sanad was
granted to Rais Lal Duniyapati Singh in 1810.
The last ruler
of Kothi signed the instrument
of accession to
the Indian
Union on 1 January
1950.
