Succession was by adoption. Its foundation is traced to a religious celibate, who came from the Punjab towards the end of the 18th century. From the founder it passed through a succession of chosen disciples until 1879, when the British government recognized the ruler as an hereditary chief and it came to be known as princely state of Raj Nandgaon. Afterwards conferred upon his son the title of Raja Bahadur. The first ruler Ghasi Das Mahant, was recognized as a feudal chief by the British government in 1865 and was granted a sanad of adoption.

Communist Party of India (Maoist)
COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST) DANDAKARANYA SPECIAL ZONAL COMMITTEE Press Release June 10, 2011 Raman Singh's Fascist Rule And Its Brutal Oppression Are Responsible For The Recent Counter-attacks Of PLGA! Stop Operation Green Hunt Immediately! Resist Deployment Of Army In Bastar! Oppose Proposed Huge Land Grab In The Name Of Army Training schools!! The exploitative ruling classes have been stung by the continued tactical counter-offensives carried out by PLGA especially from the month of May in Dandakaranya. The representatives of corporate media have joined in chorus and started shouting that the 'Maoist attacks suddenly picked up' expressing 'concern'! Prakash Singh, Arnab Goswami, Shekhar Gupta, Chandan Mitra, PV Ramana and all other bankrupt intellectuals are screaming in TV channels. Someone is saying that the government has no effective policy to deal with the Maoists and another says that the government has not willed to. But, naturally, none of these is ready to accept the fact that it was the logical outcome of the government's repressive policies. But on the other hand... the people of Dandakaranya are welcoming the PLGA's counter-offensives. Especially those people, whose houses were burnt down, whose family members were killed, who were all looted, whose mothers and sisters were insulted, the children of whom became the victims of police brutality, whose nears and dears have been languishing in prisons particularly during these two years of Operation Green Hunt, have expressed their happiness over these counter-attacks. On 17th of last month in Dantewada district at night, one of our squads blew up CRPF's vehicle with a land mine near Borgudem.

PM Modi has also been pro-active in his diplomatic efforts both in the neighbourhood and global level. Addressing challenges to the global commons and finding common grounds with international community on a variety of issues like climate change, terrorism, nuclear security and non-traditional security concerns have been part and parcel of his endeavours at the international level.
