Later,Tukoji Rao Holkarwho belonged to the Holkar clan of the Marathas and was the feudatory of Indore, renovated the temple.[31]

History

[edit]

Gupta Empire (Gupta Era)

[edit]

Gupta Empireinscription mentions Indore as city/town of Indrapura in Gupta Indore Copper plate inscription dated 146 Gupta era or 465 CE.[32]These are also some of the earliest mentions of Indore where the city is mentioned as 'Indrapura'.[33]Indrapura (modern day Indore) was then known for its sun temple, where in 464–65 CE, Gupta kingSkandaguptahad made an endowment for the permanent maintenance of the city's sun temple. The temple was constructed by two merchants of the city – Achalavarman and Bhṛikuṇṭhasiṁha.[29][34]

Holkar Era (Maratha Empire)

[edit]
Main article:Holkar

During theMughal era,the area under the modern Indore district was equally divided between the administrations (sarkars) ofUjjainandMandu.Kampel was the headquarters of amahal(administrative unit) under the UjjainsarkarofMalwa Subah(province). The area of the modern Indore city was included in theKampelpargana(administrative unit).[35]

In 1715, theMarathasinvaded this region (Mughal territory) and demandedchauth(tax) from the MughalAmil(administrator) of Kampel. The Amil fled toUjjain,and the localzamindarsagreed to pay Chauth to the Marathas. The chief zamindar,Nandlal Chaudhary(later known as Nandlal Mandloi), paid a chauth of around Rs. 25,000 to the Marathas.Jai Singh II,the Mughal Governor of Malwa, reached Kampel on 8 May 1715, and defeated the Marathas in a battle near the village. The Marathas came back in early 1716, and raided Kampel in 1717. In March 1718, the Marathas, led bySantaji Bhonsale,invaded Malwa again, but were unsuccessful this time.

By 1720, the headquarters of the local pargana were transferred from Kampel to Indore, due to the increasing commercial activity in the city. In 1724, the Marathas under the newPeshwaBaji Rao I,launched a fresh attack on the Mughals in Malwa. Baji Rao I himself led the campaign, accompanied by his lieutenantsUdaji Rao Pawar,Malhar Rao HolkarandRanoji Scindia.The MughalNizammet thePeshwaatNalchhaon 18 May 1724, and acceded to his demand of collecting chauth from the area. The Peshwa returned to theDeccan,but leftMalhar Rao Holkarat Indore to oversee the chauth collection.

The Marathas maintained friendly relations with Nandlal Chaudhary, who held influence over the localSardars(chiefs). In 1728, they defeated the Mughals decisively in the battle ofAmjhera,and consolidated their authority in the area over the next few years. On 3 October 1730,Malhar Rao Holkarwas appointed as the Maratha chief ofMalwa.The local zamindars, who had the title ofChaudhari,came to be known asMandlois (aftermandal,an administrative unit) during theMaratha reign.TheHolkardynasty of the Marathas, which controlled the region, conferred the title ofRaoupon the local zamindar family.[36] After Nandlal died, his son Tejkarana was accepted as theMandloiof Kampel by thePeshwaBaji Rao I.The pargana was formally granted toMalhar Rao Holkarby merging 28 and one-half Pargana by the Peshwa in 1733. The pargana headquarters were transferred back to Kampel during his reign. After his death, his daughter-in-lawAhilyabai Holkarmoved the headquarters to Indore in 1766. Thetehsilof Kampel was converted into Indore tehsil by a change in the name.[35] Ahilyabai Holkar moved the state's capital toMaheshwarin 1767, but Indore remained an important commercial and military center.

AhalyabaiHolkar is fondly remembered as a noble, saintly and courageous woman. She ruled the kingdom of Indore (which was then part of the widerMaratha Empire) for several decades. Her rule is remembered as a golden age in Indore's history. From an agricultural background herself, she married Khande Rao, prince of Indore. Thereafter, she resided in the Royal Palace. Later, she was trained in statecraft and accompanied the army to war on many occasions. At that time theMaratha Empire(which was founded byChhatrapati Shivaji Raje Bhonsale) was at the apex of its power. There were frequent battles and skirmishes, both against foreigners as well as internal feuds. In one such battle in 1754,Ahalyabai'shusband was killed. Her aged father-in-law (Malhar Rao) was shattered at the death of his son. He summoned Ahalyabai, who he loved deeply, and said: "You are now my son. I wish that you look after my kingdom".Malhar Rao Holkardied in 1766, 12 years after the death of his son Khande Rao. Malhar Rao's grandson and Khande Rao's only sonMale Rao Holkarbecame the ruler of Indore in 1766, under Ahilya Bai's regency, but he too died within few months in April 1767. Ahilya Bai became the ruler of Indore after the death of her son with Khande Rao.Ahilya Baiwas a great pioneer and builder of Hindu temples who constructed hundreds of temples andDharmashalasthroughout India. She is specially renowned for refurbishing and reconsecrating some of the most sacred sites of Hindu pilgrimage that had been desecrated and demolished in the previous century by the Mughal EmperorAurangzebincluding:

  • Kashi Vishwanath Temple
  • Ayodhya– Construction of Shri Rama Temple,SarayuGhat
  • Badrinath– Construction of Shri Kedareshwar Temple and Hari Temple, Dharamshalas (at Rangdachati, Bidarchati, Vyasaganga,Tunganath,Pawali), construction of many kundas (at Gaurkund, Kundachatri), a garden and a kunda of warm water atDevprayag,pastoral land for cows
  • Dwarka– Mohatajkhana, Pooja House and donation of some villages to the priests of theDwarkadhish Temple

In 1818, theHolkarswere defeated by theBritishduring theThird Anglo-Maratha War,in theBattle of Mahidpurby which the capital was again moved from Maheshwar to Indore. A residency with British residents was established at Indore, but Holkars continued to ruleIndore Stateas aprincely statemainly due to efforts of theirDewanTatya Jog. During that time, Indore has established the headquarters of the British Central Agency.Ujjainwas originally the commercial centre of Malwa. But the British administrators such asJohn Malcolmdecided to promote Indore as an alternative to Ujjain because the merchants of Ujjain had supported anti-British elements.[37]

In 1906 electric supply was started in the city, the fire brigade was established in 1909, and 1918, the first master-plan of the city was made by noted architect and town planner,Patrick Geddes.During the period ofMaharaja Tukoji Rao Holkar II(1852–86) efforts were made for the planned development and industrial development of Indore. With the introduction of Railways in 1875, the business in Indore flourished during the reigns ofMaharaja Shivaji Rao Holkar,Maharaja Tukoji Rao Holkar IIIandMaharaja Yeshwant Rao Holkar.

The Holkar StateDarbar(Court) was composed of manyJagirdars,Sardars,Istamuradars,MankarisandZamindars.[38][39]

Post-independence

[edit]

After India's independence in 1947, Holkar State, along with several neighbouring princely states, acceded to the Indian Union. In 1948, with the formation ofMadhya Bharat,Indore became the summer capital of the new state. On 1 November 1956, whenMadhya Bharatwas renamed/merged intoMadhya Pradesh,the state capital was shifted toBhopal.Indore, a city today of nearly 4.5 million (2018) residents, has been transformed from a traditional commercial urban centre into the modern dynamic commercial capital of the state.
