'''Kutlehar State''', covering an area of 2200 km<sup>2</sup>, was one of the [[Princely state]]s of [[India]]. <br />
<br />
Kutlehar was an independent kingdom built in the 10th century. The limits of the kingdom were at their maximum during the rule of Raja Jas Pal in the 11th century when it is said that he was the master of all lands between the rivers of [[Sutlej|Satluj]] and [[Beas River|Beas]]. <br />
<br />
Numerous wars were fought over the centuries including in 1337 with [[Muhammad bin Tughluq|Mohammad Bin Tughlak, Timur]] in 1398, Emperor [[Akbar]] in 1556 who levied a tribute upon the Raja of Kutlehar of 1600 rupees along with gifts of jewels, cloth and hill pheasants on the Emperor's birthday. Also as a guarantee of loyalty a son of the Raja, 'a Prince' of Royal Blood was kept in attendance at the Imperial Court in Delhi and a troop of 500 foot soldiers were stationed with the Mughal Emperor and paid for by the Kutlehar Durbar. <br />
<br />
In 1700 [[Guru Gobind Singh|Guru Gobind SIngh ji]] crossed Kutlehar when [[Anandpur Sahib]] was attacked by the Mughals. The then Raja defied the Mughal orders and did not attack the Sikh army paying heavily with the wrath of the Mughal Emperor and the Kutlehar territory was cut back and the Raja was left with just a fraction of his old territory. In 1701 the Raja and Rani of Kutlehar met Guru Gobind Singhji at Rewalsar where the Guruji presented the Raja with his sword as a token of gratitude. The Kutlehar Family is still in possession of the sword gifted by Guru Gobind Singh ji. <br />
<br />
In the more recent past, the Kutlehar territory extended to the present areas if District Una, Talhatti in Hoshiarpur, Bassi Bachertoo in Bilaspur and in Hamirpur, till it was annexed by [[Ranjit Singh|Maharaja Ranjit Singh]] 1825 and the Raja exiled to the fort in Charatgarh. Punjab was then annexed by the British and the Raja ad allowed to move back in the hills.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
According to tradition Kutlehar state was founded around 750 AD by an ancestral king named Raja Gopal. Between 1805 and 1809 the state was occupied by [[Nepal]] until the [[Gorkha]] occupants were driven out. <br />
Kutlehar State was extinguished in 1825 when it was briefly annexed to [[Pañjab]] (Punjab). The same year, after the British established their domination in the area, the Raja of Kutlehar was granted a [[Jagir]] to the value of 10,000Rs. Raja Saheb Shri Ram Pal Bahadur (1864-1927) was granted the title of hereditary Raja on 15 March 1909.{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}<br />
