'''Jalaun State''' was a [[Maratha]] [[princely state]] in the [[Bundelkhand]] region. It was centered on [[Jalaun]], in present-day [[Jalaun district]], [[Uttar Pradesh]]. The town was the capital of the state from 1806 to 1840. The last Raja died without issue and Jalaun State was subsequently annexed by the [[British Raj]].

==History==
Originally a part of the [[Maratha Empire]], it was later that the British occupied the area in 1803 and Jalaun state became a [[British protectorate]] in 1806.
Many of the inhabitants were Maharashtrian [[Brahmin]]s, known as 'Dakhini Pandits'. Their ancestors had been at the service of the Maratha [[Peshwa]]. Govindrao II, its last ruler, died without a male issue in 1840 and the state was annexed by the British in the same year. Govind rao II daughter was married in Karwi which was a sanad satate established in 1818 .

The fortified post of [[Kalpi]], the former residence of the rulers of Jalaun State, was dismantled in 1860 and its place was taken by a market known as Baithganj. After the annexation the British authorities preferred [[Orai]] as capital of the district, claiming that Jalaun was an unhealthy place.<ref>Great Britain India Office.

===Rulers===
All the rulers of Jalaun State were under [[Peshwa]] Government of Pune. Karkare Dynasty (also known as ''Hrigvediya Karkare Ballal'' [[Karhade Brahmin]]s, basically belonged to Ratnagiri of Maharashtra were appointed by Peshwa [[Madhavrao II|Sawai Madhorao (II) Narayan Bhatt Ballal]] as local administrators in 1793 AD, under the protection of Shreenath [[Mahadji Shinde]] ( also known as Madhavrao (I) Scindia, ''Patilbawa''. Later on in 1795 , jalun was placed under the assistance of Yashwant rao of Kalinjar , with whom they had marriage alliances . Yashwant Bhatt was killed in action in 1796 , This Naikhai war was fought in Vindhya , which was supported by British East India Company agents . This led to Jalon being in weak position by killing of his able commander . The Karkares tried to save Jaluan from the East India co. and thus fought against British Army during the famous Second Maratha - Anglo War. English Army won and the Maratha Army under Karkare Dynasty was killed brutally. Later on the fugitives settled in Gwalior , Banda and Jhansi. Administration of Jalaun was transferred to another Maharashtrian Brahmin family [[Deshastha Brahmin]]s and bore the title "Raja"

Later on in the famous time frame of 1857 , the Jalon along with Kalinjar and Jhansi Peshwai fought one of the toughest battles in the history of 1857 mutiny . The were jaitely defeated in " Battle of Ajaygarh in 1858 . '[[Raja]]'.<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_A-J.html Princely States of India]</ref>
