SHORT INFORMATION ABOUT BHOPAL

Early history

BHOPAL BOAT CLUB AT NIGHT

According to folklore, Bhopal was founded in 11th century by the Paramara king Bhoj, who ruled from his capital at Dhar. This theory states that Bhopal was originally known as Bhojpal after a dam (pal) constructed by the king's minister.[1] No archaeological evidence, inscriptions or historical texts support the claim about an earlier settlement founded by Bhoja at the same place, Although the Bhojeshwar Temple ascribed to his exists at Bhojpur, which is 28 km from Bhopal. An alternative theory says that the city is named after another king called Bhupala (or Bhojpal).

In the early 18th century, Bhopal was a small village in the Gond kingdom. The modern Bhopal city was established by Dost Mohammad Khan (1672–1728), a Pashtun soldier in the Mughal army.[13] After the death of the emperor Aurangzeb, Khan started providing mercenary services to local chieftains in the politically unstable Malwa region. In 1709, he took on the lease of Berasia estate and later annexed several territories in the region to establish the Bhopal State.[14] Khan received the territory of Bhopal from the Gond queen Kamlapati in lieu of payment for mercenary services and usurped her kingdom . After her death.[15] In the 1720s, he built the Fatehgarh fort in the village, which developed into the city of Bhopal over the next few decades. Post independence

Bhopal State was the second-largest Muslim-ruled princely state: The first being Hyderabad. After the independence of India in 1947, the last Nawab expressed his wish to retain Bhopal as a separate unit. Agitations against the Nawab broke out in December 1948, leading to the arrest of prominent leaders including Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. Later, the political detainees were released, and the Nawab signed the agreement for Bhopal's merger with the Union of India on 30 April 1949.[18] The Bhopal state was taken over by the Union Government of India on 1 June 1949.
