PREDECESSORS and SHORT
HISTORY:
The noble family of Ramgarh, Haryana are
descended
from Mian Kalal Chand [Kalee Chand], a younger
son
of Raja Sangar Chand of Bilaspur who reigned 1197/1220. Its rulers were
Chandel Rajputs who had
their
seat of power at Chanderi in Bundelkhand (Madhya Pradesh) and ruled
over
the entire Central India in the medieval period before the advent of
Prithviraj
Chauhan. The world-famous Khajuraho temples were built by them. Nearly
1,300
years ago, the Ramgarh family’s ancestors migrated from there to Punjab
and established the State of Kot Kahlur. The Capital was later shifted
to Bilaspur. One branch of the family of the raja of Bilaspur came to
Ramgarh
nearly 300 years ago and laid the foundation of Ramgarh. During the
1750s, Ramgarh passed from Sikh suzerainty Ramgarh
was one of
the 34 Cis-Sutlej states of Punjab which were given
sovereign powers in the treaty signed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh with the
British on the 25th April 1809, by which he surrendered his
acquisitions
South of the Sutlej. The treaty was followed up in May 1809, by a
proclamation
of the British Government which limited Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s powers
and declared the Cis-Sutlej Chiefs sole owners of their possessions.
They
enjoyed these powers till 1845 when those States which did not
co-operate
with the British were reduced to the status of a jagir. But they
maintained
their independence right till 1947. Ramgarh and Raipur were the only
two
Rajput States in this list.to that of Sirmur. In 1804,
Ramgarh threw off its
allegiance to Sirmur and established its independence, maintaining it
until 1823, when
again Ramgarh acknowledged Sirmur’s overlordship. The first
ruler of note was Mian Kushal Singh, in the eleventh generation from
Raja Megh Chand of Bilaspur, and with whom begins this genealogy. The
family holds the estates of Dhandadru, Khatauli and Kishengarh in
Haryana.
