==History==
===Panchkot Raj===
The Panchkot Jagir (also known as Zamindari Raj of Panchkot or Chakla Panchkot) was founded about the year 80 AD by Damodar Shekhar. The Panchkot Raj had ruled from their capital at [[Garh Panchkot]] from 940 AD to 1750 AD. However, Bargi attacks laid waste to the place. Around 1750 AD, Panchkot Raj family shifted to [[Kashipur, West Bengal|Kashipur]] and have been there since then. Among the recent members were Raja Bahadur Jyoti Prasad Singh Deo, who ruled from 1901–1938 and was granted the title of Raja as a personal distinction in 1912. Raja Kalyani Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1938–1945, Raja Shankari Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1945 to 1956 and Raja Bhubaneswari Prasad Singh Deo ruled from 1956-1972.<ref name=":1">পঞ্চকোট ও মানভূমের সভ্যতা। দিলীপ কুমার গোস্বামী। বজ্রভূমি প্রকাশনী। বিদ্যাসাগর পল্লী। পুরুলিয়া। প্রঃপ্রঃ 20 December 2016.
