Bagelkhand · Central Highlands & Forest Belt
Bagelkhand was princely country, and that governs everything. Rewa was not annexed and did not lapse; in 1857 its Maharaja sent troops to help the British, and the fighting on this plateau took place on its edges under individual thakurs rather than from the capital. Congress could not organise openly inside the states, so what the twentieth century produced here was not a mass anti-colonial movement but praja mandal agitation — subjects of the state demanding representative government from their own durbar — which only became substantial in the middle 1940s. The documentary record for individuals is correspondingly thin, thinner than for any of the surrounding regions, and several figures commemorated locally cannot be traced in contemporary sources. What follows is deliberately short rather than filled out.
विद्रोह और आंदोलन
While the Rewa durbar supported the British, thakurs along the state's northern border, where the plateau steps down towards Banda and Allahabad, took up arms and held broken country for nearly two years. Thakur Ranmat Singh is the leader most often named.
परिणाम: Suppressed; Ranmat Singh was captured and hanged in 1859.
Surju Prasad, a young thakur of Bijairaghogarh on the south-western edge of the plateau, rose in late October 1857, raised a force of about three thousand and cut the road and post communications through the district.
परिणाम: His fort was taken and dismantled in January 1858. He escaped, remained at large until 1864, was sentenced to transportation for life, and died in confinement at Jabalpur in 1865.
Associations of state subjects across Rewa and the smaller states pressed for civil liberties and representative government inside the durbars. The Rewa Rajya Praja Mandal was the largest of them; its organisers were repeatedly imprisoned and expelled from the state.
परिणाम: Representative institutions arrived only with the states' accession in 1948.
