PALDEO NON SALUTE
STATE
Paldeo, also spelt 'Paldev', was a princely estate (Jagir) in India during the British Raj. It was under the Bundelkhand Agency of the Central India Agency until 1896 when it was transferred to the Baghelkhand Agency. In 1931 it was transferred back to the Bundelkhand Agency. It had an area of 73 Sq. Km. or 28 Sq. Km. and comprised of 18 villages . The population of the state in 1901 AD was 8598 and in 1940 AD was 9,820 . Paldeo Estate was merged into the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh in 1948.
The Princely State of Paldeo was one of the non- salute states of
India. The native ruler of the state, who held the title of Jagirdar exercised
the powers of a ruling chief. In the year 1862, the British Government of India abolished the
compulsion of the princely state to pay annual revenue or nazarana to its
overlord on each succession, as a reward for providing support to the British
forces during the Sepoy
Mutiny of 1857. Paldeo was one of the original constituent members
of the Chamber of Princes, a number of smaller states
indirectly represented by 12 princes who were elected periodically by them.
In the year 1948, the last native ruler of Paldeo state, who was the
ninth ruler in his line, acceded the princely state to the Dominion of India,
also known as Union
of India, after the country gained independence from the British Dominion
in the year 1947. It was incorporated as a part of the former state of Vindhya Pradesh in the year 1948.
Later it was merged with the state of Madhya
Pradesh.
