'''Jashpur State''' was one of the [princely state](/source/princely_state)s of [India](/source/India) during the [British Raj](/source/British_Raj). The town of [Jashpur](/source/Jashpur_Nagar) was the former state's capital. The rulers were [Rajput](/source/Rajput)s of the [Chauhan clan](/source/Chauhan_dynasty).
After the [Independence of India](/source/Independence_of_India), Jashpur State was merged with the [princely state](/source/princely_state)s of [Raigarh](/source/Raigarh_State), [Sakti](/source/Sakti_State), [Sarangarh](/source/Sarangarh_State) and [Udaipur](/source/Udaipur_State%2C_Chhattisgarh) to form the [Raigarh district](/source/Raigarh_district) of [Madhya Pradesh](/source/Madhya_Pradesh).[Publication by Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics – 1973– Issue 61 – Page 346] Now the district of Raigarh is part of [Chhattisgarh](/source/Chhattisgarh) [state](/source/States_and_territories_of_India).
==History==
The area of Jashpur State was ruled by a [Dom](/source/Dom_(caste)) dynasty at the time of the [Mughal Empire](/source/Mughal_Empire). Sujan Rai, a son of the Suryavanshi Raja of [Banswada](/source/Banswada) in [Rajputana](/source/Rajputana), arrived to the place and saw that the population was not satisfied with their ruler, Raibhan Dom. Sujan led a rebellion, defeated and killed the Dom Raja in battle, and proclaimed himself king.
The Chauhan Rajput rajas of Jashpur accepted the sovereignty of the [Bhonsle dynasty](/source/Bhonsles_of_Nagpur) of [Nagpur State](/source/Nagpur_State), paying a tribute of 21 buffalos. Before 1818 the Bhonsle placed Jashpur State under the administration of [Surguja State](/source/Surguja_State). The state became a [British protectorate](/source/British_protectorate) in 1818.[Malleson, G. B.: ''An historical sketch of the native states of India,'' London 1875, Reprint Delhi 1984]
Jashpur was one of the states of the [Eastern States Agency](/source/Eastern_States_Agency). The last ruler of this princely state signed the accession to the [Indian Union](/source/Dominion_of_India) on 1 January 1948.[[http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/jashpur_mp Rajput Provinces of India – Jashpur (Princely State)]]
