History
The Hindu ruling family is descended from Shrimant Balajiraje Gharge-Desai-Deshmukh (1226/1275). The State held the traditional rights to issue coins on the behalf of Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.[6] [7]
In A.D 1342 during the peninsular campaign of Delhi Emperor Muhammad bin Tughluq the family received Sardeshmukhi of Nimsod along with 72 other villages.[8]
In A.D 1536 family received various assets from the Ibrahim Adil Shah I ruler of Bijapur Sultanate in Shirol area.[9][10]
In A.D 1616 by Ibrahim Adil Shah II in Kittur and Raibag, and remained as one of the Largest Deshmukh of Adil Shahi dynasty[11]
During the Maratha rule the State served as an important milestone of the Maratha Empire, with blood relationships with various ruling families of those days[12][13]. In A.D 1731 the family received saranjam of 12 more villages and the noble title of Saranjamdar-Deshmukh[14] from the Maratha King Chattrapati Shahu of Satara and made it hereditary[15].[16] In A.D 1761 Shrimant Sidojiraje Gharge-Desai-Deshmukh[17] along with his 2000 cavalry participated as one of the commander[18][2] of the Maratha Army in one of the largest battles fought in the 18th century, The Third Battle of Panipat and was brutally killed by Afghan Ruler Ahmad Shah Durrani. He was also part of the Maratha army which defeated the first Afghan invasion on India in 1751 and flagged the Maratha flag on Attock Khurd and brought present day North West Frontier Province of Pakistan under Maratha Control. The State lost its importance after the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818 and became part of British Territories.[19] The State enjoyed revenue estimated at 200000 and paid a tribute to the British Raj of a nominal amount of 6000 in year 1901.[20]
