Kesarbagh palace, the mansion of the former ruler of the erstwhile Dholpur State inDholpur, nowDholpur Military School

Dholpur State, located in present-dayDholpur district of Rajasthan, was established due to British political intervention in Rajputana.

To create a buffer between theKingdom of Bharatpur and theMarathas, who often allied against them, the British supported theJats led byRana Kirat Singh. Jats helped the British to reclaim theGohad region from theScindias. As part of an agreement, Rana Kirat Singh was given control of Dholpur, while the British took over Gohad. Thus, Dholpur State was formed, and Rana Kirat Singh declared its ruler in 1805.^[4]

The last ruler of Dholpur signed theinstrument of accession to the Indian Union on 7 April 1949 and the state was merged in short-livedMatsya Union.^[5]

Vasundhara Raje, a former chief minister of Rajasthan, is also a member of the former ruling family of Dholpur.^{[citation needed]}

^Mahotsav, Amrit."Battle of Dholpur in 1803".amritmahotsav.nic.inGovernment of India. “The emergence of Dholpur State, in the present-day Dholpur district of Rajasthan, was a result of the British political intervention in Rajputana during the early nineteenth century. It was the harsh conquest and annexation policy of the East India Company’s which led to the creation of the state of Dholpur. Initially, it was under the rule of the Scindias of Gwalior. They lost possession of the region following their defeat in the battle of Laswadi in September 1803 against the forces of the Company led by General Lake. In creating the state of Dholpur, the British built a buffer between the kingdom of Bharatpur and the Marathas, both of whom often formed an alliance against them. At the same time, the British also helped the Jats led by Rana Kirat Singh, to win the Gohad region from the Scindias. As part of an arrangement made by the Company, Rana Kirat Singh was given Dholpur and the former took over Gohad. Thus, the Dholpur state was formed and Rana Kirat Singh was declared its ruler in 1805.”
