History

Ancient Period, upto 1200 AD

Rajput clans emerged and held their sway over different parts of Rajasthan from about 700AD. Before that, Rajasthan was a part of several republics. It was a part of the MauryanEmpire. Other major republics that dominated this region include the Malavas, Arjunyas,Yaudhyas, Kushans, Saka Satraps, Guptas and Hunas. The Rajput clans ascendancy in Indian history was during the period from the eighth to thetwelfth century AD. The Pratihars ruled Rajasthan and most of northern India during 750-1000 AD. Between 1000-1200 AD, Rajasthan witnessed the struggle for supremacy betweenChalukyas, Parmars and Chauhans.

Medieval Period, 1201 - 1707

Around 1200 AD a part of Rajasthan came under Muslim rulers. The principal centers of theirpowers were Nagaur and Ajmer. Ranthanbhor was also under their suzerainty. At thebeginning of the 13th century AD, the most prominent and powerful state of Rajasthan wasMewar.

Modern Period, 1707 - 1947

Rajasthan had never been united politically until its domination by Mughal Emperor - Akbar.Akbar created a unified province of Rajasthan. Mughal power started to decline after 1707.The political disintegration of Rajasthan was caused by the dismemberment of the MughalEmpire. The Marathas penetrated Rajasthan upon the decline of the Mughal Empire. In 1755they occupied Ajmer. The beginning of the 19th Century was marked by the onslaught of thePindaris. In 1817-18 the British Government concluded treaties of alliance with almost all the states ofRajputana. Thus began the British rule over Rajasthan, then called Rajputana.

Post Independence

The erstwhile Rajputana comprised 19 princely states and two chiefships of Lava andKushalgarh and a British administered territory of Ajmer-Merwara. Rajasthan State was

Welcome to Alwar - The Gateway of Rajasthan

Alwar, among the Rajput principalities was the closest to imperial Delhi. People of thisregion were daring adventurers. They did not submit to alien rule; they rebelled.

History Of District Alwar

Origin of Name

The district is known after its headquarters town of Alwar. There are many theories about the derivation of the name Alwar.Cunningham holds that the city derived its name from the Salva tribe and was originally Salwapur, then, Salwar, Halawar andeventually Alwar.According to another school it was known as Aravalpur or the city of Aravali (A hill system dividing Rajasthanroughly into third and two-thirds).Some others hold that city is named after Alaval Khan Mewati. A research conducted duringthe reign of Maharaja Jey Singh of Alwar revealed that Maharaja Alaghraj, second son of Maharaja Kakil of Amer (old seat ofJaipur state) ruled the area in the eleventh century and his territory extended upto the present city of Alwar. He founded the cityof Alpur in 1106 Vikrami samvat(1049 A.D.) after his own name which eventually became Alwar. It was formerly spelt as Ulwarbut in the reign of Jey Singh the spelling was changed to Alwar.

Location

The district is situated in the north-east of Rajasthan between 27o4' and 28o4' north Latitudes and 76o7' and 77o13' eastLongitude. Its greatest length from south to north is about 137 K.M. and greatest breadth from east to west about 110 K.M.

It is bounded on the north and north-east by Gurgaon (of Haryana) and Bharatpur district and on the north-west byMahendragarh district of Haryana, on the south-west by Jaipur and on the south by Sawai- Madhopur and Jaipur districts.

History

The Alwar state may be said to have been formed as a separate, independent state when Rao Pratap Singh, its founder, firstraised his standard over the Alwar Fort on November 25th 1775.During his rule the then districts of Thanagazi, Rajgarh,Malakhera, Ajabgharh, Baldeogarh, Kankwari, Alwar, Ramgarh and Lachhmangarh, and areas around Behror and Bansur, werefinally integrated to form the State. As the State was being consolidated, naturally, no definite administrative machinery couldhave come into being. At the time, the states revenue was between six to seven lakhs of rupees per annum.

The next ruler Maharao Raja Bakhtawar Singh(1791-1815) also devoted himself to the work of extension and consolidationof the terriotory of the State. He was successful in integrating the pargannahs of Ismailpur and Mandawar and the talukas ofDarbarpur, Rutai, Nimrana, Mandhan, Beejawar and Kakoma in the Alwar State. Maharao Raja Bakhtawar Singh renderedvaluable services to Lord Lake, during the latter's campaign against Marathas, in the battle of Laswari, in Alwar territory whenthe State troopes assisted him in finally breaking the Marathas and Jat powers.

As a result, in 1803, the First Treaty of Offensive and Defensive Alliance was forged between Alwar State and the EastIndia Company. Thus, Alwar was the first princely State in India to enter into Treaty Relations with the East India Company.But in his time also, the State Administration was very imprefect and cases of loot and dacoity, even in broad day light, were notinfrequent. The State was borrowing money from outside as its finances were poor and mismanaged. Most of the land revenuewas use to pay back the loans and, at times, the farmeres were put to hardship The State was heavily indebted when the nextruler Maharao Viney Singh acceeded to the throne.

Maharao Raja Viney Singh (1815-1857) suppressed the social anarchy and was to a great extent, successful in stabilisingthe general conditions in the State. It was in his time that the Alwar State administration began to take shape. According to theImperial Gazetter of India, " The Government had previously been carried on without any system. But with the aid of certainMusalmans introduced from Delhi and appointed ministers in 1838, great changes were made. The land revenue began to becollected in cash instead of kind and civil and criminal courts were established."

Maharao Raja Viney Singh died in 1857 and was succeeded by his son Sheodan Singh (1857-1874). He was then a boy oftwelve. He at once fell under the influence of the Mohammedan Dewans of Delhi. Their proceedings excited an insurrectionof the Rajputs in 1858, in which several of the Dewan's followers were killed and the ministers themselves wereexpelled from the State. Captain Nixon, the Political agent of Bharatpur, was at once despatched to Alwar whoformed a Council of Regency. A Panchayat was formed with three members to administer the State but it could not succeed.Captain Impey came to Alwar as the next Political Agent in November, 1858. His tenure of that office continued till theend of 1863, during which he succeeded in re-organising every branch of the administartion. The system of fixed cashassessment was introduced. The annual revenue of the State was fixed at Rs. 14,29,425 and work was started on a three yearssettlement for the State. After the completion of this settlement, Major Impey started work on the ten year settlement in theState and the annual revenue was fixed at Rs. 17,19,875.

Maharao Raja Sheodan Singh assumed ruling powers on 14th September,1863 and soon after, the agency wasabolished. But the administration soon fell back into the hands of old Dewans who still had links with the ruler. In 1870, thedisbanding of the Rajput cavalry and the wholesale confiscation of Jagir, grants the extravagance of the chief and hisMohammedan sympathisers, brought about a general uprising of the Rajputs with the result that the British government hadagain to interfere. Captain Blair, the then Political Agent for the Eastern States tried to bring about a reconciliation but failed.Major Cadell was then appointed the Political Agent in 1867 and,with the sanction of the Government of India, a council ofManagement was formed with the Political Agent as President, the Maharao Raja having a seat in the Board. Personnel ofadministration was changed and the whole administartion was cleaned. A new Department of Engineering was started.Tehsildars were entrusted with more civil and criminal powers. They were empowered to impose fines upto Rs. 20 and a month'simprisonment. In 1871, the Kotwali was established for the security of the city. The next year work on the 16 year settlementbegan. Tax on the british rupee was abolished and Rao-Shai coins were put out of circulation. British copper coins wereintroduced in the State in 1873 and length and weight measures of yard and seer were also brought into use. Postalmanagement was improved and the letters from Tehsils which previously, took three daysto reach the capital, now came withintwelve hours. An independent department called `Appeals' was brought into being for hearing appeals against decisions of lowercourts. The railway line from Delhi to Bandikuipassing through Alwar, was laid in 1874.

Mangal Singh the next ruler (1874-1892), was also a minor when he succeeded to the throne of Alwar State and the Statecontinued to be administered by the Political Agent and the Council of Regency till December, 1877 when he was invested withruling powers. The hereditary title of Maharaja was bestowed on him in the year 1889. In 1877, he had entered into thecontract with the British Government under the Native Coinage Act of 1876 according to which silver coins bearing the Alwardevice were to be supplied by the Calcutta Mint. The troops in the State were re-organised in November,1888 under the

guidance of Colonel (then Major) O.Moore Creagh, whose services had specially been lent for the purpose by the Government ofIndia. The staff office was established in November, 1888 and Maharaja Mangal Singh himself supervised the re-organisation ofmilitary forces.

On his death in 1892, his only son,Jey Singh succeeded him. And it was in the times of Jey Singh that Alwar State gainedname. Himself an able man, Maharaja Jey Singh turned Alwar into a very well administered State. He was a minor at the time ofsuccession and hence the State administration was carried on by a council, called the State Council, acting under the generalsupervision of the Political Agent . The State Council was composed of four members and all the business of the administrationwas carried on by the members jointly under the advice and guidance of the Political Agent for the time being. The StateCouncil exercised powers of a High Court, subject to the revising authority of the Political Agent. Revenue and Judicial appealsand cases were disposed off by the Council. The State administration was taking shape.

During the rein of Jey Singh, the whole state was divided into twelve administrative units called Tahsils, each under thegoverning authority of a Tahsildar. Following is the table showing the names of the Tahsils, areas and populcation of each :
