The Pilania Jat Dynasty was a prominent Jat dynasty that emerged in the 18th century and continued to hold influence until the independence of India in 1947.[1]
Origin of Pilania Jats
- Pilanias get their name from people living in the Pilu forests on the Saraswati River during the Mahabharata period.
- Some Jat historians consider this gotra to have originated from a place named Pilawaniya (पिलावनियाँ). Utpal Jats had founded the village of Pilania near Badi Khatu in the Jayal tehsil of Nagaur district in Rajasthan.[2]
Fort Unchagaon History
The Unchagaon site was first fortified by the Baachal branch of the Sisodiya Gehlot Rajputs under Rao Gopal Singh circa the early 17th century, establishing Unchagaon as a strategic village on the banks of the Ganges.[3] Following the 1857 Rebellion, the British rewarded Raja Gursahai Singh of Moradabad with the zamindari of Unchagaon.[4] His grandson Raja Karan Singh inherited the estate in 1898, and the latter died in 1927 with no direct heirs. The property passed to his ten‑year‑old great‑nephew Raja Surendra Pal Singh. In 1933, upon Surendra Pal Singh's marriage into the Bharatpur princely family, the fort underwent extensive repairs and stylistic enhancements, blending Rajput and colonial motifs.[5] By the early 21st century, the fort had fallen into disuse until Thakur Bhawani Singh's descendants converted it into a heritage hotel in July 2000, restoring the historic palaces while preserving 19 acres of mango groves.[6][7]
Notable Rulers and Politicians
- Raja Surendra Pal Singh[8](17 May 1917 – 10 December 2009) was an Indian politician who served as Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha. He was elected to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th Lok Sabha from Uttar Pradesh. He was a member of the Indian National Congress.[9]
