Hello,
I have just noticed this error to be corrected
No, Bajrangarh
was not a British princely state before the loss of the Marathas in 1818; it was an independent, short-lived state that was actively resisting Gwalior's Maratha expansion. The sequence of events was:
- Before 1818: Bajrangarh was an independent principality ruled by Raja Jai Singh, who even issued his own currency as a sign of sovereignty. It was, however, engaged in ongoing conflict with the Scindia ruler Daulat Rao Scindia, who aimed to incorporate the small state into Gwalior. A Gwalior general had even captured the fort in 1816.
- During/After 1818: The Third Anglo-Maratha War ended with a decisive British victory over the Maratha Confederacy. Gwalior was forced to accept British suzerainty (paramountcy) through treaties, effectively becoming a British princely state (or "puppet," as the user puts it).
- Aftermath: It was the British who, through mediation in 1819, resolved the succession dispute in Bajrangarh and formalized its status not as an independent princely state, but as a feudatory of Gwalior.
