The Jagdishpur estate was a zamindari estate situated in modern-day Bihar, India, in erstwhile Shahabad district (now in Arrah). The capital of the estate was the town of Jagdishpur.
History
In the early fourteenth century, the son of the Parmara ruler Bhoja II (Paramara dynasty) of Malwa migrated to Bihar region while on pilgrimage to Gaya. The prince of Malwa saw an opportunity to establish a Kingdom here and then he attacked the then rulers of Bihar Cheros and then they established the Kingdom of Bhojpur. The descendants of the prince, Sanatan Singh came to be locally known as Ujjain or Ujjainia Parmar Rajputs because of the place of their origin. They rank almost highest among Rajput clans because of their direct ancestry to Samrat Vikramaditya and Raja Bhoj.
1857 rebellion
During the rule of Kunwar Singh, the estate took part in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[1][2] Kunwar Singh was motivated to rebel after having financial difficulties due to the high revenue demanded by the British authorities and family litigation.[3] The British also attempted to take over the management of the estate.[4]
As a result of this, Kunwar Singh (who was 80 at the time) decided to join the rebellion and was considered to be the leader of the rebellion in Bihar.[3] He was helped by his brother, Babu Amar Singh and his commander-in-chief, Hare Krishna Singh. After some initial success, Kunwar Singh and his forces were eventually driven out of Jagdishpur by the British. A year later, Kunwar Singh died and the rebellion was led by his brother who was eventually captured and hanged.[3] Because of these events, many consider Kunwar Singh to be one of the "greatest chiefs" of Jagdishpur.[5]
